IF YOU CAN’T LIGHT IT,

DON’T FIGHT IT!

•If you smell gas, do not attempt to light the pilot. Do not cause a spark by turning on or off electrical switches or appliances or by using the phone. Turn off the gas to the appliances and call your gas supplier from another location.

•If your gas control has gotten wet as the result of flooding or other wetting, it must be replaced immediately by a trained gas service technician. Water can lead to damage of the internal safety mechanism in the gas control and can create a hazardous condition.
