DANGER
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both propane and natural gas have odorants added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not
physically be able to smell or recognize this odorants. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of propane
or natural gas, ask the gas supplier.
Other conditions, such as “odorants fade”, which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or
camouflage a gas leak. Always check with commercial leak odorants or soapy water.
• Gas detectors are recommended in propane and natural gas applications and their installation should be in
accor dance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or
customs.
• Water heaters utilizing propane gas are different from natural gas models. A natural gas water heater will not
function safely on propane gas and vice versa.
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from natural gas to propane gas. To avoid
possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire, do not connect the water heater to a fuel type not in
accordance with the unit data plate; propane for propane units and natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certified for any other fuel type.
• Propane water heaters should not be installed. below grade (for example, in a basement) if such installation is
prohibited by federal, state and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• Propane or propane gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower
areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for gas leaks. Use a soapy solution
to check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect a gas leak, be sure to sniff near the floor also.
• It is recommended that more than one method, such as soapy solution, gas detectors, etc., be used to detect
leaks in gas applications.
Notice:
If a gas leak is present or suspected:
• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself.
• DO NOT try to light any appliances.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Leave the house immediately and make sure your family and pets leave also.
• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire
department.
• Stay away from the house (or building) until the service call has been made, the leak is corrected and a
qualified agency has determined the area to be safe.
•
