_WARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.R) GAS WATER
HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air.
Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will set-
tle near the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted
areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated),
closets and areas below ground level will serve as
)ockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before
attempting to light or relight the water heater's pilot
or turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be
absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the
area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level
in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected,
follow steps indicated at "For Your Safety" on the
cover page of this manual then leave the premises.
Lighting and operating instructions are located on front of the
water heater, above or to one side of the gas control valve.

bor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

department.
