Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is
a
leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets fo
r
accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
