i believe theirs a red handle on the water heater, but im not sure about it, i would call the gas provider for your area and ask to be sure, you dont want an explosion cause gas is running and theres no flame. im pretty sure tho there is a handle, and if its only for temp, you could always turn it down. that also depends on your convienence to do so. mine would not be convienent to change, it has its own room off my closet. gotta get my sons clothing out of the way and use a drill driver to get the screws out to open the wall. mines electric tho so turning it off is easy. maybe you can even ask your provider about a switch for convienence. they are suppost to help with energy conservation. i use propane for my stove and mfa is really helpfull. hope this helps. i would always, when its about gas, ask your provider first, and even a second opinion if it sounds flighty.
