5. Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any gas. If

the next step.

Immediately light the pilot with the gas lighter
[push in and "click" the piezoelectric spark
igniter button] (This can be found after
opening the gas control door on the lower
right side of the unit) Continue to hold the
control knob in for about 20 seconds after the
pilot is lit. Release knob and it will pop back
out. Pilot should remain lit. If the pilot goes
out, repeat the operation.
! If knob does not pop out when released,
stop and immediately call your service
technician or gas supplier.
! If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries,
turn the gas control knob "OFF" and call
your service technician or gas supplier.
8. Shut the gas control valve access door.

To Turn Off Gas To Appliance
1. Set thermostat to
OFF
position, or select the
“OFF”
position of the on/off/T-stat switch.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if
service is to be performed. Unplug

. Do not force.
As a supplement to the above instructions:
When pressing/clicking the piezoelectric spark
ignition button to light the pilot light, watch through
the glass front door of the unit. Click the ignitor
button until a flame is visible at the pilot light and
once lit, continue to press on the gas control knob
for another 20 seconds, then release. Ascertain that
the pilot light is still lit by looking through the front
door. If lit, then turn the gas control knob fully
counterclockwise to the
ON
position. If the pilot light
failed to light or if it went out due to a premature
release of the gas control knob while pressed in the
PILOT
position, wait 60 seconds for interlock to
release, then repeat the lighting process as
described above.
WARNING:
THE CONTROL HAS AN INTERLOCK
DEVICE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF ALL GAS FLOW,
THE PILOT BURNER CANNOT BE RELIT UNTIL
THE THERMOCOUPLE HAS COOLED, ALLOWING
THE ELECTROMAGNET TO BE RELEASED
(APPROX. 60 SEC.). THE GAS CONTROL KNOB
IS DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED BY HAND. DO
NOT USE ANY TOOLS DURING THIS OPERATION.
DAMAGED KNOBS MAY RESULTS IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
Once the pilot light has been lit, the main burners
are lit moving the thermostat to a high setting so that
it "calls" for heat (i.e. turns the unit on). The main
burners should light immediately. Note that the
on/off cycling of the main burners are controlled by
the thermostat but that the pilot light remains lit
regardless of the thermostat setting. To turn the
pilot light off, turn the gas control valve fully
clockwise to the
OFF
position.
Once the unit is lit, observe the flame pattern and
adjust as necessary per the following instructions
while keeping in mind the off-gassing and break-in
warnings listed above.
