• If your gas supplier cannot be reached, 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,
do not try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force
or attempted repair may result in a fire or an explosion.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.

When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
