WARNING
BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER
HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air.
Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle
near
the ground. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted
areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated),
closets and areas below ground level will serve as
pockets
for the accumulation of this gas. Before
attempting to light or relight the water heater's pilot or
turning on a nearby electrical light switch, be absolute­
ly sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search
for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level in the vicini­
ty of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow the steps
indicated at "For Your Safety" on the cover page of
this manual, then leave the premises.
Lighting and operating instructions are located on front of
the water heater, above or to one side of the gas control
valve.
