DANGER!
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both liquid propane gas (LPG) and natural gas (NG) 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 LPG or NG, 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 LPG and NG 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 LPG are different from NG models. A NG water heater will not function
safely on LPG and vice versa.
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from NG to LPG. To avoid
possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire, do not connect the water heater to a fuel
type not in accordance with the water heater data plate; liquid propane gas for LPG water
heaters and natural gas for NG water heaters. These water heaters are not certified for any
other fuel type.
• LPG water heaters 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.
• LPG 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 appliances.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switches.
• DO NOT use any phones 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 qualified agency has determined the area to be safe.
