Lighting Information and Operation
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
BEFORE LIGHTING 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.
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 supplier's instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de
partment.
Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob(s). Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to repair
it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted re-
pair may result in a fire or explosion.
PLACING UNIT INTO OPERATION
