lights the pilot. When lighting the pilot follow these
instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING ensure there is no smell of gas
around or in the vicinity of the water heater and the burner

• If the gas smell is throughout the area turn the gas
control knob clockwise to the “●”(off)
position and then turn off the isolation valve on the gas supply
pipe to the water heater.

tools. If the control knob will not turn by hand, don’t try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
