any electrical devices (light switch, torch,
door bell, telephone, intercom, or other
electric consumers) on or off.

nect the gas alarm from the power supply.
• Immediately warn all people at risk and
make sure that they evacuate the area to
safety.
• Shut off the gas supply on the main gas
tap or bottle valve.
• Open the windows and doors and air the
room, the house, the caravan, etc. thor-
oughly.
• Note on airing rooms: certain gases (pro -
pane and butane) are heavier than the
ambient air, and some are lighter (meth-
ane). When airing, please make sure that
the intake of air is suitable for the proper-
ties of the gas.
• If leaking gas is indicated constantly or
repeatedly, please contact your energy
provider. Do not use the telephone or any
other electrical device near or around the
