DANGER!
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may
not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the
smell of LP or natural gas, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "odorant fade," which
causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or camouflage a gas leak. Always
check with commercial leak detector or soapy water.
Gas detectors are recommended in LP and natural gas applications and their installation
should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer's recommendations and/or local
laws, rules, regulations or customs.
•
Water heaters utilizing LP gas are different from natural gas models. A natural gas water
heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice versa.
•
No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from natural gas to LP gas.
To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire, do not connect the water
heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the portable tankless water heater data plate;
propane for propane portable tankless water heaters and natural gas for natural gas
portable tankless water heaters. These portable tankless water heaters are not certified for
any other fuel type.
•
LP appliances should not be installed below grade (for example, in a basement) if such
installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
•
Propane or LP gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect
first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
•
Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for gas leaks.
Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection
indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect a gas leak, be sure to
sniff near the floor also.
•
It is recommended that more than one method, such as soapy solution, gas detectors, etc.,
be used to detect leaks in gas applications.
Notice: If a gas leak is present or suspected:
•
DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself.
•
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
•
DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
•
DO NOT use any phone in your building.
•
Leave the house immediately and make sure your family and pets leave also.
•
Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the gas supplier, a qualified service
agency or the fire department.
•
Stay away from the house (or building) until the service call has been made, the leak
is corrected and a qualified agency has determined the area to be safe.
