HOW TO LIGHT YOUR PILOT

Lighting instructions for Gas Fireplaces with a Standing Pilot

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING

A.  This appliance has a pilot, which must be lit by hand.  When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

B.  Before lighting, check around the appliance area for gas.  Be sure to check 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 electric 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 can not 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.  Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
