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.
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.
