INITIAL OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE OPERATING
Check the GAS and WATER CONNECTIONS for leaks before firing unit for the first time.
Open the main gas supply valve to the unit using only your hand to avoid any spark. Never use
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to force it; call a qualified service technician.
Forced repair may result in a fire or explosion due to gas leaks.
Be sure to check for the presence of leaking gas toward the bottom of the unit because some
gases are heavier than air and may settle towards the floor.
Check the GAS PRESSURE. Refer to p. 19.
