LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP 
gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous 
practice.
