WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de- partment.

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 and any gas control which has been under water.

Note: If pilot does not stay lit, refer to Troubleshooting, pages 17 through 19. Also contact a qualified service per- son or gas supplier for repairs. Until repairs are made, light pilot with match. To light pilot with match, see Manual Lighting Procedure, page 15.
