For your safety read before operating.
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 does not have a pilot. It
is equipped with an ignition device,
which automatically lights the burner.
Do not try to light the burner by hand.
b) Before operating smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell
next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
c) Use only your hand to push in or turn
the gas control knob (manual gas valve
located outside the heater). Never use
tools. If the knob (manual gas valve
located outside the heater) will not push
in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it,
call a qualified service technician. Force
or attempted repair may result in a fire
or explosion.
d) Do not use this appliance if any part
has been under water. Immediately call
a qualified gas technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part or the
control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
