1) Put out all free flames.
2) Close the main gas tap or the LPG cylinder tap.
3) Do not turn any lights on or off; do not turn on any electrical device or appliance.
4) Open windows and doors in order to increase ventilation.
If the alarm stops, its cause must be found and the relevant consequent measures taken.
If the alarm continues and the cause of gas presence cannot be found or removed, abandon the building and call
the emergency services when outside (fire department, distributors, etc.)
IMPORTANT: The operation test should not be carried out with the gas tap as this does not guarantee a sufficient
concentration to activate the general alarm.
Warning !!
If you have the following symptoms: vomiting, sleepiness, or else, go to the closest first aid station
and inform the operators that you could have been poisoned by Carbon Monoxide,
or by an excess
or deficiency of oxygen
