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 or
gas supplier. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
