OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ LISEZ AVANT DE
METTRE EN MARCHE
A. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light
the pilot by hand.
Cet appareil est muni d'un dispositif d'allumage qui
allume automatiquement la veilleuse. Ne tentez pas
d'allumer la veilleuse manuellement.
B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because some gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor.
DANGER: Propane gas may not always be
detected by smell. Propane gas is heavier than
air and can collect in low areas.
Propane gas can ignite or explode if an ignition
source is present and result in death, serious
injury and property damage!
