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 tech-
nician or gas supplier. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.

been under water. Immediately call a quali-
fied service technician to inspect the appli-
ance and to replace any part of the control
