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 ser-
vice 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 the
