• Do not touch any electric switch; do

not use any phone in your building.

from a neighbor’s phone. Follow
the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas sup-

plier, call the fire department.

C. Use only your hand to push in or turn

the gas control knob. Never use tools.
If the knob will not push in or turn
by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a
qualified service technician or gas
supplier. Force or attempted 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 un-
der water.

low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
