- Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in the immediate area.
- 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 department.
3. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by hand, don’t
try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance, and to replace any part which has been under water.
Lighting Instructions

MATCH IN YOUR HAND. For natural gas appliances, turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at the appliance.

ON/OFF valve slowly at the appliance.

5. Wait at least five minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including base of the appliance. If you
smell gas, STOP! Follow Step 2 in the Safety Information above. If you don’t smell gas, repeat Step 4,
listed in this section.
To Turn Off the Appliance
