WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, per-
sonal injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition
device which automatically lights the pilot.
Do not try to light by hand.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next

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 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.
