Failure to follow these instructions exactly may result in fire or 

explosion causing property damage, personal injury or loss 

of life.

Before operating the appliance, check all around the appliance 

area and on the surrounding floor for the smell of gas - some 

gas is heavier than air and may settle on the floor in the event 

of a leak.  IF YOU SMELL GAS, follow the safety instructions 

on page 1 of this manual.

This appliance is equipped with an ignition device that 

automatically lights the pilot.  Do not try to light the pilot 

manually.

The main gas valve in this appliance is not serviceable and 

does not have any control knobs or switches to operate.  Do 

not remove the heat shields covering the valve and electronic 

devices. Do not try to repair or modify the valve, as doing 

so may result in a fire or explosion.  Call a qualified service 

technician if you have any safety concerns.

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been under 

water.  Immediately call a qualified service technician to 

inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control

maintenance can result in injury or property damage. For 

assistance or additional information, consult a qualified 

installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or 

liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

INITIAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Before placing burner assembly into a housing:

1.  Purge air from the supply line.

2.  Test for leaks in each of the following locations:

•  The gas supply line connection to the main valve;

•  The Burner connections and pilot;

•  All joints on the valve and control body;

•  All field made joints and gas shutoff valves;

•  All factory made joints and connections.

3.  You may check for gas leaks using one of the following methods only:

•  Soap and water solution.  WARNING:  If using a soap and water solution to test 

for leaks, DO NOT spray the solution onto electronic parts;

•  An approved leak testing spray;

•  An electronic sniffer.  NOTE: Remove any excess pipe compound from 

connections if using this method, as the compound can set off electronic sniffers.

DANGER: NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
