plier, call the fire department.

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.

has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to
inspect the appliance and to replace
