IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
29516-2-0912Page 4
Smoking can decrease your
ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your
sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in
the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor
or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a
gas odor can make it easier to smell.
For example, if there is an underground leak, the
movement of the gas through soil can lter the odorant. Odorants
in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This fading can occur if
there is rust inside the storage tank or in iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls,
masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take
some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could
vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be
more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas
odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately
go into action as instructed earlier.
-
contact your gas supplier.
• Learn to recognize the odor of LP-gas. Your local LP-Gas
Dealer can give you a "Scratch and Sniff" pamphlet. Use it to
nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you suspect that
your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas
Dealer.
• If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service,
or make adjustments to appliances on the LP-Gas system. If
you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas
prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or
making adjustments.
• Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty
smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light
pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area
where the conditions are such that you may not detect the
odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
• Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of
new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should
be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders
are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or
reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too
long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been
out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will
cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist,
a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any
LP-gas dealer. A
periodic sniff test of the LP
under any condition.
• If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you
think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same
immediate action recommended above for the occasion when
you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
• If you experience a complete "gas out," (the container is un-
der no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately.
If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in
some air through openings such as pilot light orices. If this
occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is
left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be
sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off
at the container before it goes completely empty or having it
relled before it is completely empty.
• Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your
phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
• Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do
that IMMEDIATELY.
• Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
• LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such
as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak,
keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until
reghters declare them to be safe.
• Use your neighbor's phone and call a trained LP-Gas service
person and the re department. Even though you may not
continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not
re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer, or area.
• Finally, let the service man and reghters check for escaped
gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly
trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then
check and relight the gas appliance for you.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER

SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS

For proper burner operation and ame appearance, the ow of
primary air into the venturi tube, located on the rear of the burner,
must not be reduced. This ow of air is reduced if dirt, lint or other
obstructions build-up around or inside the venturi. Any obstruction
in the venturi tube area must be removed. The ow of air into the
venturi is also reduced if the gas orice isn’t centered in the venturi
inlet and/or is not aligned with the venturi. Any misalignment of the
burner orice may be corrected by bending the shutter cap holding
the orice to the inlet of the venturi tube.
Returns
Ceiling fans or oscillating oor type fans need to be monitored
during the operation of vent-free appliance. If the air blows directly
into the ame causing it to disrupt the ame, it should be turned off
or redirected. Ceiling fans could be reversed to possibly eliminate
ame impingement, and the oor fan should be redirected. Upon
installation, be aware of any cold air returns or vents in the
proximity of the log set. Any draft created around a vent-free log
set can cause the ame to impinge on the log and create a sooting
situation.
WARNING
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the replace. Avoid any
drafts that alter burner ame patterns.
Candles
Avoid the use of scented or decorative candles while the log set is
in operation. Candles produce a residue in the air that creates a
soot like substance. Burning candles while the log set is operating
magnies the problem. It should be noted that candles, in general,
produce soot. The amount of time burned and the quantity of
candles burned will determine the amount of soot produced and
deposited.
