OPERATING HEATER

FOR YOUR SAFETY
READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: if you do not not follow these
instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be
lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot,
follow these instructions exactly.
B. Before lighting smell all around the appli-
ance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor 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 in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas suppli-
er's instruction.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
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 serv-
ice technician 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.
