LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STOP! Read all safety information included with
and on the side of heater.
2. Check that gas supply to heater is on.
3. Push in gas control knob and slightly turn
clockwise to the OFF position (see figure 16).
Note: Knob cannot be turned from PILOT to OFF
unless knob is pushed in slightly. Do not force.
4. Wait five (5) minutes. 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 to the next
step.
5. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn
counterclockwise to PILOT/IGN and depress for
five (5) seconds.
Note: The first time that the heater is operated after
connecting the gas supply, the control knob should
be depressed for about 30 seconds. This will allow
air to bleed from the gas system.
6. Push in control knob and rotate control knob
back to OFF position then rotate counterclock-
wise to PILOT/IGN position. This will light pilot.
If needed, gently keep rotating control knob back
and forth while depressed until pilot lights.

seconds after lighting pilot. If pilot goes out,
repeat steps 4, 5, 6 and 7.
• If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting,
pages 14 & 15. Also, contact a qualified service
person or gas supplier for repairs.
• If control knob does not pop up when released,
contact a qualified service person or gas
supplier for repairs.
