FOR YOUR SAFETY, PROPANE HAS AN ODOR ADDED SO YOU CAN DETECT LEAKS.

You and each member of your family must know the smell of propane. Ask your serviceman to demonstrate its odor. If anyone in your household cannot smell propane, call us immediately. Propane is heavier than air and will collect at floor level. Carefully smell at floor level in low spots to check for propane.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR SUSPECT A LEAK

  1. Put out all smoking materials and any open flames.

  2. Do not operate any appliances, switches or thermostats.

  3. Get everyone outside and away from gas equipment.

  4. Shut off the gas supply, using the shut-off valve at the tank or cylinder.

  5. Call your propane supplier - use your neighbor's phone - if gas smell is in the house.

  6. Stay outside and leave the gas off until the leak has been found and fixed.

RELIGHTING YOUR PILOTS

We strongly recommend that for safety reasons, you call our qualified technician to relight your pilots. However, if you relight the pilots yourself:

* Turn all appliance controls and manual shut-off valves to the "OFF" position.

* Slowly open the tank shut-off valve.

* Carefully smell for the presence of propane at floor level and low spots before attempting to relight the pilot.

* If gas is detected - STOP - See "WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS" above.

* Follow the manufacturer's instructions for pilot lighting.
