this type appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety

came with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this

Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how
and where to turn off the gas to the appliance.
If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a
small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely sealed. Finding
a gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner
control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service
technician.
If by some chance a burner goes out and does not re-ignite and gas escapes,open a window or
a door to let the room air out.Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate.
