INSTRUCTIONS TO THE HOMEOWNER—
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE
WARNINGS BELOW AND THE
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY,
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF
LIFE.
1. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance
area for gas. It the appliance uses LP
(bottled) gas, also be sure to smell next to the
floor be-cause LP gas is heavier than air. If
you smell gas, immediately shut off the
manual valve in the gas piping to the appliance,
or ON LP, AT THE TANK. Do not try
to light any appliance. Do not touch any
electrical switch or use the phone. LEAVE
THE BUILDING and call your gas supplier.
If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call
the fire department.
2. Do not force the gas control knob on the
appliance. Use only your hand to push down
the reset button or turn the gas control knob.
Never use any tools. If the knob or reset
button will not operate by hand, replace the
control using a qualified service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in fire or
explosion.
3. Replace the gas control if it has been flooded
with water. Call a qualified service technician.
4. If the red reset button stays depressed after
it is released, replace the gas control.
5. The gas control is a safety device. It must be
replaced in event of any physical damage
such as bent terminals, missing or broken
parts, stripped threads, or evidence of exposure
to heat.
IMPORTANT: Follow the operating instructions provided
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 procedures outlined by the
manufacturer of your appliance may differ, requiring
special instructions.


TO LIGHT THE PILOT BURNER
STOP: Read the safety information above.
This appliance has a pilot burner which must be lit by

1. Set thermostat to lowest setting and shut off electric
power to appliance.
2. Remove gas control access panel if provided on
your appliance.
3. Turn gas control knob (Fig. 3) clockwise to
OFF position.
4. Wait five minutes to allow any gas in the combustion
chamber to vent. If you then smell gas in the appliance
area or near the floor in an LP installation, immediately
shut off the manual valve in the gas piping to the
appliance or, WITH LP, SHUT OFF AT THE TANK.
Do not touch any electrical switch or use the phone.
LEAVE THE BUILDING and call your gas supplier. If
your gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department.

5. If you do not smell gas, turn knob on gas control
counterclockwise to PILOT.

Release button; pilot should remain lit. If it goes out,
repeat steps 3-6. If the reset button does not pop up
when released, stop immediately and call your service
technician or gas supplier. If pilot will not remain lit
after several tries, turn gas control knob to OFF and
call your service technician or gas supplier.
7. When pilot remains lit, turn gas control knob counterclockwise
