B. QUE FAIRE S'IL Y A UNE ODEUR DE GAZ
1. Coupez l'alimentation du gaz vers l'appareil.
2. Éteignez toute amme nue.
3. Si l'odeur persiste, appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz ou le service d'incendie.
C. Utilisez votre main seulement pour pousser ou tourner le bouton de réglage du gaz. Ne jamais utiliser d'outils.
Si vous ne parvenez pas à enfoncer ou à tourner le bouton à la main, n'essayez pas de le réparer. Appelez
