DANGER!
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both liquid propane and natural gas have an odorant added to aid in detecting
a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this
odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of liquid propane or natural
gas, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions, such as “odorant fade”, which causes
the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or camouflage a gas leak. Always
check with commercial leak detector or soapy water.
• Gas detectors are recommended in liquid propane and natural gas applications
and their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s
recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• Water heaters utilizing liquid propane gas are different from natural gas models.
A natural gas water heater will not function safely on liquid propane gas and
vice versa.
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from natural gas
to liquid 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
portable tankless water heater data plate; propane for propane portable tankless
water heaters and natural gas for natural gas portable tankless water heaters.
These portable tankless water heaters are not certified for any other fuel type.
• Liquid propane appliances 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 liquid 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 the water heater.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
