Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Pilot/main burner flame is lit automatically. Do
not light the pilot/main burner flame manually.
2. Before lighting appliance, smell around the
appliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to the

service valve. On LP gas systems, turn off
gas supply at the gas tank.

• Do not touch electrical switches or use
phone.
• Leave the building and use a neighbor's
phone to call your gas supplier.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only
your hand to push down or turn the gas control
knob. Never use any tools. If the gas control
knob will not operate by hand, call a qualified
service technician to replace the gas control.
Force or attempted repair can result in a fire or
explosion.
5. Call a qualified service technician to replace
the gas control if it has been flooded with
water.
6. Replace the gas control in the event of any
physical damage, tampering, bent terminals,
missing or broken parts, stripped threads, or
evidence of exposure to heat.
