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 gas is heavier than

use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighborʼs phone. Follow the gas
