FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING:  If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result 

causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

A.   This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand.  

When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.   BEFORE LIGHTING  smell all around the appliance area 

for gas.  Be sure to smell next to the floor because some

service technician.  Force or attempted repair may result 

in a fire or explosion.

control system and any gas control which has been under 

water.
