OPERATING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the appliance at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.
When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary
condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur
again. Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
