Important safety reminders

• Don't enter an area where you suspect a gas leak. If you are in such an area, leave immediately!
• Be alert for propane odor when working in areas where propane is used. Even a faint odor may indicate a hazardous situation.
• Do not try to judge for yourself the level of danger of a gas leak by trying to determine if the smell of gas is weak or strong. All gas leaks pose a serious risk.
• Repeated pilot outages could indicate a hazardous condition. Don't attempt to relight the pilot, or service your equipment. Call your local Dowdle Gas Store.
• If you choose to light your own pilot lights, be sure to read and follow your owner's manual for proper lighting instructions.
• Before lighting a propane gas appliance, sniff around the area at floor level. If you smell gas, don't light the appliance!
• Shut off the gas immediately at the tank (shut-off valve), if your appliance has been flooded. Do not use your gas system again until the wet or flooded equipment has been checked and serviced.
• Improperly vented or defective appliances can cause potentially fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. Have your propane system and appliance periodically inspected by a service technician from your local Dowdle Gas Store.
• Don't tamper with or use tools to operate controls. If controls are difficult to operate by hand, call you local Dowdle Gas Store immediately.
• Keep combustible products, like gasoline, kerosene or cleaners in a separate room from propane appliances. Your appliance pilot lights could ignite fumes from these combustibles.
• Don't operate any propane gas appliance without reading the instructions carefully.
