Si les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas suivies à la lettre,
cela peut entraîner la mort, de graves blessures ou des
dommages matériels.
Ne jamais vérifier la présence de fuites de gaz au moyen

spécialement pour la détection de fuites. Un incendie ou
une explosion risque de se produire, ce qui peut entraîner
la mort, des blessures ou des dommages matériels.
