Operation (contd.)
MILLIVOLT LIGHTING/OPERATION- NATURAL GAS & PROPANE
FOR YOUR SAFETY: READ BEFORE LIGHTING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing personal injury,
loss of life and property damage.
Since propane gas is heavier than air, escaping propane will accumulate and remain at ground level. Do
not attempt to light the heater. If you suspect a propane leak, lighting the heater can result in a fire or
explosion which can cause personal injury, death, and property damage.
A. This heater has a pilot that must be lit manually. When
lighting the pilot follow these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the heater area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
-
Do not try to light any heater.
-
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
-
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
