UNIT OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

1. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

2. 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.

3. 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 qualified service technician or gas supplier. Forced or

attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

4. 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 of the control system and any gas control

which has been under water.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

 Open the window or door immediately.

 Do not try to light 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.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Before Lighting:

1. Make sure the heater is properly installed and connected. Open the external safety shut off valve (not

part of the heater) on gas inlet line to the heater.

2. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out air inside gas lines. Smell if there is any leakage.

IMPORTANT: If you smell any gas, do not try to light any appliances, do not touch electrical

switches or use any phone in the building. Shut off the valve on gas inlet line immediately and

contact gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions. If you can’t

reach the gas supplier, call the fire department. Only when you make sure there is no gas leakage,

go to the next step.

Note: During first seasonal use, gas smell is expected to be more noticeable than in standard operation.
