FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
 WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a 
re or  explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal 
injury or loss of life.
A.  This appliance has a pilot which must 
be lighted by hand. When lighting the 
pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B.  BEFORE  LIGHTING  smell  all  around 
the appliance area for gas. Be sure to 
smell next to the oor because some 
gas is heavier than air and will settle 
on the oor.
  WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

not use any phone in your building.

call the re department.
C.  Use only your hand to push in or turn 
the gas control knob. Never use tools. 
If  the  knob  will  not  push  in  or  turn 
by  hand,  don’t  try  to  repair  it,  call  a 
qualied service technician. Force or 
attempted repair may result in a re or 
explosion.
D.  Do  not  use  this  appliance  if  any  part 
has been under water. Immediately call 
a qualied service technician to inspect 
the appliance and to replace any part of 
the control system and any gas control 
which has been under water.

this stove with the door in place.

does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, 
pages 26 though 29. Also contact a quali-
ed service technician or gas supplier for
