FOR YOUR SAFETY

low these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result

sonal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance is equipped with an igni-
tion device which automatically lights
the pilot. Do not try to light by hand.

on the floor.

not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the
gas supplier's instructions.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn
the gas control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not push in or turn by
hand, don't 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 service technician to inspect
the appliance and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
