Operation (contd.)
FOR YOUR SAFETY: READ BEFORE LIGHTING
A. This heater is equipped with a pilot which must be
lighted manually. When lighting the pilot, follow
these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the heater
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any heater.
- Do not touch any electrical 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.
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 qualified
service technician. Forced or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control which
has been under water.

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing personal injury, loss of life

Since propane gas is heavier than air, escaping propane will accumulate and remain at ground level. Do not
attempt to light the heater. If you suspect a propane leak, lighting the heater can result in a fire or explosion
which can cause personal injury, death, and property damage.
