What To Do If You Smell A Gas Odor

Natural gas is lighter than air, and it has a very high ignition
temperature. For your protection, The Gas Company adds a distinctive odor
to natural gas, so leaks are easily detected.

If you smell a Natural gas or a Propane gas odor:

 DON’T panic.



 DON’T light a match, candle or cigarette.





 DON’T turn electrical appliances or lights on or off.



For safety, a shut-off valve was installed on this appliance. If a leak
occurs at this appliance, the valve will permit you to turn off the gas at the
appliance rather than shutting off all gas service at the meter.

SHUT off the appliance shut-off valve.

· From a safe location, call your local Gas Company 24 hours a day,
seven days a week; or call 9-1-1.

After the gas supply has been connected to your unit, it is extremely important to check piping
for possible leaks. To do this, use soap and water solutions, or solutions which are expressly
made for this purpose. DO NOT USE matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignitions
since these methods are extremely dangerous.

In a prominent location post instructions to be followed in the event you smell gas. Obtain these
instructions from your local gas supplier.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions thoroughly before
