exactly.

some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.

do not use any phone in your building.

department.

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.
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
