Gas safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
If you smell gas:
•
Close the valve
and do not use the appliance.
•
Do not light
a match, candle, or cigarette.
•
Do not turn on
any gas or electric appliances.
•
Do not touch
an electrical switch or
plug in a power cord.
•
Do not use
any phone in your building.
•
Evacuate
everyone from the building.
•
Immediately call
your gas supplier from
a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
Checking for gas leaks
• Leak-testing the appliance must be done according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a soap-and-water
solution around the area you are checking. If there is a gas leak, small bubbles will
appear in the solution.
