LP-Gas System
Maintenance and Safety Tips for the LP-Gas Refrigerator and the
Propane Furnace:
• Have the refrigerator, furnace and venting inspected annually by
an authorized service center.
• Before firing up the refrigerator, or using the propane gas
furnace for the first time each season, have the venting system
checked for blockage. Insects may have built nests that will
obstruct flow.
• At the first indication of incomplete combustion (yellow flame
instead of a blue flame or soot is present) contact a service
technician immediately. Improper combustion can cause carbon
monoxide buildup, which is potentially fatal!
Maintenance and Safety Tips for the Propane Range:
• Burner flame should be a blue color, indicating complete
combustion. If not, have the unit serviced by a qualified
technician.
• Do not cover the oven bottom with foil. Air circulation will be
restricted.
• Never use gas ranges or ovens for heating purposes.
• Always have pot handles turned inward.
• Ensure children understand never to turn or play with the knobs
on the front of the propane gas range.
Maintenance and Safety Tips for the Propane Water Heater:
• Test the operations of the temperature and pressure relief valve.
Maintain setting at no more than 210° F. to reduce the chance of
hot water scalding.
• Keep flammable substances away from the water heater. Do not
store items close as this may block the airflow the water heater
needs to operate properly.
• At the first indication of incomplete combustion (yellow flame
instead of a blue flame or soot is present) call a service
technician immediately. Improper combustion can cause carbon
monoxide buildup, which is potentially fatal!
