For Your Safety Read Before Lighting; Lighting The Pilot - Vermont Castings A18CFLRN/P Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Create a mixture of equal parts soap and water. Apply to all the joints of the pipe fittings from the gas supply
pipe to the burner. Turn on the gas supply valve for no longer than 3-5 seconds. If bubbles appear in the soap
solution applied to the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply valve and tighten those fittings. Repeat the
above procedure until no bubbles appear in the soap solution. Remember to test all joints.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS!
NOTE: Always perform a leak test any time the appliance has been moved or disconnected from the
gas supply line.
WARNING: If you do not follow these directions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
• Do not try to light any appliance
• Do not touch any electrical 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
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department
Before operating, smell all around the appliance area for gas odor. Be sure to smell near the floor because
some gases (propane) are heavier than air and will "pool" on the floor.
Use only your hand to push or turn the gas control dial. NEVER USE TOOLS. If the knob will not push in
or turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a
fire or explosion.
The pilot will resist lighting on new installations
due to air in the gas supply line. It may take sev-
eral minutes to bleed air completely out of the gas
plumbing system through the pilot line.
