and all other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings printed in this manual. Failure to do so
can result in unsafe operation of the water heater resulting in property damage, bodily injury, or death.

which lights the pilot. When lighting the pilot, follow these
instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE PUTTING THIS APPLIANCE INTO SERVICE—
Smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the floor.

• Do not try to light the appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don’t try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempt to repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
