DANGER!
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both LPG and natural gas have an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak.
Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you
are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of LPG or natural gas, ask the gas supplier.
Other conditions, such as "odorant fade", which causes the odorant to diminish in
intensity, can also hide or camouflage a gas leak. Always check with commercial
leak detector or soapy water.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LPG and natural gas applications and
their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer's
recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• Water heaters utilizing LPG are different from natural gas models. A natural
gas water heater will not function safely on LPG and vice versa.
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from natural gas
to LPG. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire, do not
connect the water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the unit data
plate; propane for propane units and natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certified for any other fuel type.
• LPG water heaters should not be installed below grade (for example, in a
basement) if such installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
• Propane or LPG must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and
will collect first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for
gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections.
Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling
to detect a gas leak, be sure to sniff near the floor also.
• It is recommended that more than one method, such as soapy solution, gas
detectors, etc., be used to detect leaks in gas applications.
NOTICE: If a gas leak is present or suspected:
• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself.
• DO NOT try to light any appliances.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Leave the house immediately and make sure your family and pets leave
also.
• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the gas supplier, a
qualified service agency or the fire department.
• Stay away from the house (or building) until the service call has been
made, the leak is corrected and a qualified agency has determined the
area to be safe.
