bor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

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, don't try to repair it; call a qualified
service technician. Force or attempted repair may re-
sult in a fire or explosion.

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
