SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF PROPANE GAS
Propane is ammable and can cause res and explosions.
In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You
may not know all the following safety precautions which
can protect both you and your family from an accident.
Read them carefully now, then review them point by point
with the members of your household. Someday when
there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will
depend on knowing exactly what to do. If, after reading
the following information, you feel you still need more
information, please contact your gas supplier.
PROPANE GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the
gas because of the odorant put in the Propane Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
