•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh- bor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc- tions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, 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. Applying force or any attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
