IF
YOU SMELL GAS OR SUSPECT A LEAK
|
DON’T TOUCH
electrical switches, light matches, or use the phone.
GET EVERYONE OUT of the building.
SHUT OFF the gas valve at the outside tank, meter, or service
entrance.
CALL your gas supplier and/or the fire department from a
neighbor’s phone.
IF PILOT WON’T LIGHT
(Read appliance operating instructions before attempting
to light pilot). It you have trouble lighting the pilot
or keeping it lit, there’s normally a safety feature preventing
it from working. If it won’t light, shutoff the gas and
call your gas supplier.
TAMPERING IS DANGEROUS
Do not force the gas control knob. Never use tools. Use
only your hand to turn the control knob. Forcing the gas
control knob may override the safety feature and allow gas
to leak. This could result in a fire or explosion.
If the gas control knob becomes difficult to operate by
hand, the appliance should be serviced by a trained gas
service person.
GAS HAS BEEN ODORIZED
Before lighting, sniff all around the appliance area for
a gas odor. Be sure to sniff next to the floor because propane
gas is heavier than air and may temporarily exist at floor
level.
ODOR DEPLETION
In certain circumstances the LP. Gas odor may diminish or
weaken making it difficult for a person with a normal sense
of smell to detect a gas leak. If a leak is suspected, contact
your LP Gas Dealer.
WATER DAMAGE
If your gas control valve has been subjected to flooding
or wetting, It must be inspected by a trained gas service
person prior to starting and replaced if damaged or required
by the manufacturer’s Instructions.
