ilWARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING PROPANE (LR) GAS WATER HEATERS:
Propane (L.R) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in
the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements,
crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when
ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as
pockets for the accumulation of this gas. Before attempting to
light or rolight the water heater's pilot or turning on a nearby
electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulat-
ecl 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.
iI WARNING
AN ODORANT IS ADDED TO THE GAS USED
BY THIS WATER HEATER.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
IF YOU SHELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in
your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
Follow the gas suppliers instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
A, WARNING
DO NOT force the gas control knob. Use only your hand to i
push it down to light the pilot, or to turn it to "ON", "OFF"
or "PILOT". Never use a tool such as a lever, wrench or pli-
ers. Do not hit or damage the knob. A damaged knob may
result in an explosion and serious injury. If you have problem
turning the knob, call the gas supplier immediately.
