What to do if you smell gas
•
Any works on gas equip-
ment and systems may only be
carried out by authorised
qualified persons who are Gas
Safe registered.
•
Prior to the installation,
ensure that local distribution
conditions (nature of gas and
gas pressure) and the adjust-
ment of the appliance are
compatible.
•
The appliance is not con-
nected to a combustion prod-
ucts evacuation device. It shall
be installed and connected
accordance with current instal-
lation regulations. Particular
attention shall be given to the
relevant requirements regard-
ing ventilation.
•
The use of gas cooking
appliance results in the
production of heat and mois-
ture in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open
or install a mechanical ventila-
tion device (mechanical
extractor hood). Prolonged
intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventila-
tion, for example increasing
the level of mechanical venti-
lation where present.
•
Good combustion is
required in gas appliances. In
case of incomplete combus-
tion, carbon monoxide (CO)
might develop.
•
Clean the gas burners
regularly. The flames should
be blue and burn evenly.
•
Carbon monoxide is a
colourless, odourless and very
toxic gas, which has a lethal
effect even in very small
doses.
•
Gas appliances and
systems must be regularly
checked for proper function-
ing. Connections, hoses,
clamps etc should be checked
regularly.
•
Request information about
gas emergency telephone
numbers and safety measures
in case of gas smell from you
local gas provider.
•
Do not use open flame or
do not smoke. Do not operate
any electrical buttons (e.g
lamp button, door bell etc). Do
not use mobile phones. Risk of
explosion and toxication!
•
Open the doors and win-
dows.
•
Turn off all valves on gas
appliances and gas meter at
the main control valve, unless
its in a confined space or
cellar.
•
Check all tubes and con-
nections for tightness. If you
still smell gas leave the prop-
erty.
•
Warn the neighbours.
•
Call the fire brigade. Use a
telephone outside the house.
•
Do not re-enter the proper-
ty until you are told it is safe to
do so.
