Safety instructions
NATURAL AND LP GAS
Both LP and natural gas are odoured to
help detect leaks.
Appliances using LP gas are different from
natural gas models. A natural gas gas
geyser can not function safely on LP gas
and vice versa.
Do not try to convert the gas geyser from
a natural gas to a LP gas appliance.
This could damage the appliance, cause
injuries or fires. Never connect the
gas geyser to a fuel type that is not in
accordance with the appliance’s data table.
WHEN DETECTING A LEAK ON
YOUR INSTALLATION
LP gas is twice as heavy as air and may
accumulate in low lying areas and cavities.
Before opening the hot water tap to test
your gas geyser, check for gas leaks. Use a
soapy solution to check all gas fittings and
connections. Bubbles indicate a leak.
1. Do not attempt to find the cause
yourself and turn off the gas supply.
2. Do not ignite any appliance.
3. Do not touch any electrical switch.
4. Evacuate the house immediately with
your family and pets.
5. Leave the doors open for ventilation and
contact the gas supplier, registered LP
Gas Installer or Fire Department.
6. Stay away from the house (or building)
until the service call has been made,
the leak is fixed and the space has been
declared as safe.
7. Ask the installer to show you where the
gas shut-off valve is and how to use it.
8. Turn off the manual shut-off valve if
the gas geyser has been subjected to
overheating, fire, flood, physical damage
or if the gas supply fails to shut off.
Gas detectors are highly recommended
and they must be installed in accordance
to the detector manufacturer’s regulations.
