FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.

When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

partment.

hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified service techni-
cian or gas supplier. 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.

excessive. You can open the chimney damper (if you have one)
fully or partially to release some of the heat.
