Attention - Critical
Points to Remember!
■ Propane (LP) gas and natural gas have a
distinctive odor. Learn to recognize these odors.
(Reference "Fuel Gas Odor" and "Odor Fading"
sections above.
■ If you have not been properly trained in repair and
service of propane (LP) gas and natural gas fueled
heaters, then do not attempt to light heater, per-
form service or repairs, or make any adjustments
to the heater on propane (LP) gas or natural gas
fuel system.
■ Even if you are not properly trained in the service
and repair of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously
aware of the odors of propane (LP) gas and
natural gas.
■ A periodic "sniff test" around the heater or at the
heater's joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a
good safety practice under any conditions. If you
smell even a small amount of gas, CONTACT
YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY. DO
NOT WAIT!
