What to do when gas is leaking
CAUTION
When smelling gas:
1. No open fire. No smoking.
2. Avoid generating sparks. Neither
use electric switches nor the tele-
phone, plugs or bells.
3. Shut off the gas mains.
4. Open windows and doors.
5. Warn residents and leave the build-
ing.
6. Phone the gas supplier or a heat-
ing firm from a place outside the
building.
In the case of other hazards, shut off the gas mains
and isolate the plant (e.g. by switching off the heating
emergency switch and press the emergency stop of
the CHP module).
Deactivating, bridging or removing safety equipment
is not permitted.
What to do in the case of fire
●
Call the fire brigade.

Help injured persons immediately and call a first
aider, if necessary.
●
The flame of a gas fire as such cannot be extinct.
Cool a burning object, if necessary (e.g. by with-
drawing oxygen: close doors and windows).
Burning gas = gas under control.
●
Prevent the flames from spreading.
●
When flames are spreading, fight the spreading
fire with fire extinguishers.

Keep calm.
