equipped with an ignition device which automat-
ically lights the burner. DO NOT try to light the

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 explo-
sion.
