the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your 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 tools. 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.
