FOR YOUR SAFETY

damage, personal injury or loss of life.

phone. Follow the gas supplierʼs instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.
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,
donʼt try to repair it, call a qualified service technician or
gas supplier. 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 control system
