To determine whether your appliance is an electronic
ignition or a standing pilot ignition, open the control access
panel to examine the wiring system. If your system has a
red ignitor button (as shown in Figure 47), you own a
standing pilot ignition appliance. If no red ignitor button is
present, you have an electronic ignition appliance.
You may also check the rating label located on the inside
of the control access panel to determine ignition type.
1. Electronic Ignition
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, per-
sonal 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
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• 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 supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to open the shutoff valve. Never use tools. If the shutoff valve will not move 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 the 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.
