Instructions To The Homeowner
(For Your Safety, Read Before Operating)
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Pilot/main burner flame is lit automatically. Do
not light the pilot/main burner flame manually.
2. Before lighting appliance, smell around the
appliance for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
floor because LP gas is heavier than air.
3. IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Turn off the gas supply at the appliance
service valve. On LP gas systems, turn off
gas supply at the gas tank.
• Do not light any appliances in the house.
• Do not touch electrical switches or use
phone.
• Leave the building and use a neighbor’s
phone to call your gas supplier.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
4. Do not force the gas control knob. Use only
your hand to push down or turn the gas
control knob. Never use any tools. If the gas
control knob will not operate by hand, call a
qualified service technician to replace the gas
control. Force or attempted repair can result in
a fire or explosion.
5. Call a qualified service technician to replace
the gas control if it has been flooded with
water.
6. Call a qualified service technician to replace
the gas control in the event of any physical
damage, tampering, 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 gas control application, but the specific
controls used and the procedures outlined by
the manufacturer or your appliance may differ
and require special instructions.
