What to do in the event of a gas leak
Please proceed as follows if the gas alarm sig-
nals a gas leak or if you smell gas:
• In the event of a gas leak, do not switch
any electrical devices (light switch, torch,
door bell, telephone, intercom, or other
electric consumers) on or off.
• Immediately warn all people at risk and
make sure that they evacuate the area to
safety.
• Do not under any circumstances discon-
nect the gas alarm from the power sup-
ply.
• Do not ignite any naked lights. Extinguish
any burning tobacco or candles etc.
immediately.
• 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.
• Shut off the gas supply on the main gas
tap or bottle valve and make sure that the
cause of the escaping gas is remedied.
• The gas leak must only be dealt with by a
qualifi ed and authorized expert.
• 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
gas leak to notify the provider.
Caution
• Only operate the device with 12 V DC.
