gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use any tool. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand,
don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water.
