Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a
leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for
accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
•
DO NOT touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
