General Propane Safety Tips

1. Be alert for the odor of propane when around a gas appliance or container
2. If you smell gas, do not try to light the appliance. Call your propane supplier.
3. Read and follow the operating and lighting instructions on warning labels provided by the appliance manufacturer.
4. The pilot has a safety device. If you have trouble keeping it lit, this device is warning you about a problem. Call a service technician for assistance.
5. Never force any appliance control. If you cannot operate the knobs, switches or buttons by hand, call your supplier. Never tamper with the controls.

How can you tell if there is a gas leak?

1. By smell. A disagreeable odor is added to the propane so you can detect a leak or unlit pilot easily.
2. By electronic gas alarm. If used, the gas alarm supplements a person's smelling ability to detect a gas leak and sounds an audible warning when it finds the presence of propane gas.

 

Safe Gas Grilling

Cooking with a gas grill can be fun and very convenient. With a propane gas grill, there is no waste of time and energy. The blue flame provides your grill with instant heat and temperature control and lets your family enjoy the great barbecue taste year round. But as with any major appliance, there are safety precautions you should follow to ensure safe operation. Here are some important DON'TS;
1. DO NOT use the propane gas cylinder if it shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire, damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visible external damage. Consult your local propane gas supplier for further instructions.
2. DO NOT attempt to repair cylinder valves, regulator or hose connections. All repair work should be done by your local propane gas supplier.
3. DO NOT allow any one (including children) to tamper with components of the grill or the propane gas cylinder.
4. DO NOT allow anyone to conduct any activities around the grill when the grill is in use, or following its use. The grill body is hot during the period of use and will remain hot for some time following its use.
5. DO NOT use the grill directly adjacent to the side of the house or structure and never under any surface such as a carport, porch, or in a garage.
6. DO NOT store cylinder(s) inside enclosed structures or in areas where the cylinder(s) would be exposed to excessive heat. This includes storing a spare cylinder close to a gas grill.
7. DO NOT dispose of unused propane by opening the valve and venting to the atmosphere. Take the cylinder to your propane supplier for disposal.
