WARNING: IF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE OR

LOSS OF LIFE.
A. This appliance has a pilot that must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
B. 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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
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 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 handle. Never use tools. If the
handle will not push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Force or attempted repair may result in fire or explosion.
D. Do no 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 part of
the gas control that has been under water.
1. STOP! Read the safety information listed above.
2. Turn gas control handle clockwise to the “OFF” position.
3. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell
gas, STOP!. Follow “B” in the safety information above. If you do not smell gas go on to next step.
4. Locate pilot (mounted on the right side of the top burner pan).
5. Turn control handle counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position.
6. Place a lit match at the pilot burner and simultaneously push in on the control handle.
This should ignite the pilot.
7. Once the pilot lights, continue to depress the control handle for 1 minute.
8. After 1 minute slowly release control handle and it will pop back out. Pilot should remain lit.
If it goes out, repeat steps 1 through 7.
If the handle does not pop out when released, stop immediately and call your
service technician or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control handle to the “OFF”
position and call your service technician or gas supplier.
9. Turn gas control handle counterclockwise to the “ON” position.
