the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.
•The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use tools to turn the control knob. If the
knob will not turn by hand, DO NOT attempt to force or repair it. Forced or improperly repaired valves
pose the risk of fire and/or explosion.
•Make sure burners, pilot burner and grease tray are properly installed before attempting to operate.
LIGHTING THE PILOT LIGHT
1. Before lighting the pilot light, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell near floor
level because some gas is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.
2. For initial startup, and any time the gas supply has been shut-off, it may take several minutes to light
the pilot while air in the piping and manifolds is purged.
16

The pilot light must be lighted by hand:
1. Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position.
2. The pilot is located adjacent to one leg of the burner, and is accessible through the front panel
opening.
3. Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had time for the air to be purged
from the lines. Attempt to light the pilot every 15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.
4. Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter.
5. DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.
SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
