Initiating the Appliance

For your safety, read before operating.

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions

exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

a) This appliance does not have a pilot. It is

equipped with an electronic ignition device,

which automatically lights the burner. Do not

try to light the burner by hand.

b) Before operating, check for gas accumulation

in the area around the appliance. Pay special

attention near the floor, because gas is often

heavier than air, and it may accumulate near

the floor.

c) Do not attempt to open the manual gas shutoff

valve with anything but by hand. Never use

tools. If the valve will not open by hand, do not

try to repair it. Instead, call a qualified service

technician. Force or attempted repair may

result in a gas leak, fire or explosion.

d) Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualified

service technician to inspect the appliance and

to replace any part that may have been

damaged by being under water.

WARNING: IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not use 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 department.
