INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE
OPERATING
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Pilot flame is lit automatically. Do not light the
pilot flame manually.
2. Before lighting pilot burner flame, smell around
the appliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to
floor because LP gas is heavier than air.
3. IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Turn off the gas supply at the appliance
service valve. On LP gas systems, turn off
gas supply at the gas tank.
• Do not light any appliances in the house.
• Do not touch electrical switches or use the
phone.
• Leave the building and use a neighbor’s
phone to call your gas supplier.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only
your hand to push down or turn the gas control
knob. Never use any tools. If the gas control
knob will not operate by hand, the gas control
should be replaced by a qualified service tech-
nician. Force or attempted repair may result in
a fire or explosion.
5. The gas control must be replaced in case of any
physical damage, tampering, bent terminals,
missing or broken parts, stripped threads, or
evidence of exposure to heat.
IMPORTANT: Follow the operating instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer of your heating appliance. The
information below will be of assistance in a typical control
application, but the specific controls used and the proce-
dures outlined by the manufacturer of your appliance may
differ, requiring special instructions.
