6. How to behave in the event of a gas leak
CAUTION! In case of an alarm, keep calm and:
• Turn off all open flames and all gas appliances
• Close the tap on the gas meter or on the LPG cylinder
• Do not turn any lights on or off; do not switch on any electrical
equipment or devices (compresi i rivelatori di gas)
• Open doors and windows to increase ventilation
• Do not use the phone inside a building in which there is a sus-
pected gas leak
If the alarm stops the cause must be found immediately and the
necessary measures taken.
If the alarm continues and the cause of the gas leak cannot be
found or eliminated, leave the building and notify the emergency
services, once outside.

7. Warnings
• Do not tamper with or open the device: electric shock hazard,
danger of damage to the detector.
• Clean the device only with a damp cloth. Keep the aeration
grilles free of obstructions.
• Do not expose the device to:
- sprays
- cigarette lighter gas
- solvent vapour
- perfume vapour, bleach, ammonia, etc.
- glue, colours and silicones vapours
- other gases from that prescribed
- direct cooking vapours
- etc.
• In order to warn of gas leaks, LPG and methane gases contain
an odorous substance. This odour may be noticed before the
detector operates, although the latter is calibrated to operate far
below the gas explosion threshold.
