LIGHTING & OPERATION
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING.
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR LOSS OF LIFE.
A. This appliance can be lit with a match. When lighting, follow these instructions exactly.
B. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the base of the appliance 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 nearby.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbors phone. Follow gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob on the propane tank (if equipped), never use tools. If the valve won't 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 the appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and replace any part which has been underwater.
E. The LP gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 10.5"
water column or a 20 lb tank.
