YOUR
GAS
CONTROL
AND

SYSTEM
Your

has a safety
device
whose
purpose
is to shut-offthe
gas supply
to the appliance
if the pilot
light
goes
out.
If you
have
trouble
lighting
the pilot
or keeping
it lit, it
may
mean
that
this
safety
device
is warning
you
that
there
is a problem
with
your
system.
Inspection
and
repairs
or replacement
must
be
made
by a trained
gas service
technician.
TAMPERING
IS DANGEROUS
The
pilot
safety
system
may also not work
if you
do not follow
the lighting
instructions
carefully
or
if you tamper
with
the gas control
that
you use to
light
the pilot.
Tampering
with
the gas
control,
particularly
with
tools,
can
damage
the
safety
mechanism
in the control
and can allow gas to leak.
This
can
result
in a fire
or
explosion
causing
property
damage,
personal
injury
or death.
IF YOU
SMELL
GAS,
DON'T
LIGHT
IT
IF YOU CAN'T
LIGHT
IT,
DON'T FIGHT
IT!
