INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLO-
SION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAM-

phone in your building.

neighbor’s phone. Follow your gas supplier’s
instructions.
4. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
B. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas valve
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, do not try to repair it, call a
qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
C. 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
this control system and any gas control which has
