FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions

erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot that must be lighted
by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appli-
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and
will settle on the floor.

•
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use
any phone in your building.

bor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instruc-
tions.

push in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it; call
a qualified service technician or gas supplier.

explosion.
