LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - 17 SERIES
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. 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 qualifi ed professional service technician. Excessive force or attempted
repair may result in fi re or explosion.
B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the fl oor
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the fl oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not 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 fi re department.
C. The burner system has a pilot that can be lit by hand using a match or long-necked lighter. When lighting
the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been
under water. Attempted operation may result in fi re or explosion resulting in property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
LIGHTING THE PILOT

control knob slightly and turn clockwise to OFF (Fig. 25-1).

If the pilot fails to light after several tries, turn the control knob
to OFF and contact a qualifi ed professional service technician.
