Lighting
BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER
HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) 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 manufactured (mobile) homes
(even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumula- tion of this gas. Before attempting to light or relight the water heater'spilot or turning on a nearby elec-
trical light switch, absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas
&WARNINGbe
by sniffing at ground level in the vicinity of the
appliance. If odor is detected, follow steps indicated
ual then leave the premises.
