UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE
USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER
HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OR IN ANY
LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE
WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU
ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
x
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas
have an odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in
the detection of the gas.
x
Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten
egg” smell.
x
Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the
odorant to diminish in intensity, or ”fade”, and not be
as readily detectable.
x
If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any
way unsure of the presence of gas, immediately contact
your gas supplier from a neighbor's telephone.
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier, or
plumbing professional, for more information.
