Propane Safety Tips
Follow these general propane safety precautions to keep your home and family safe:
- Be alert for the odor of propane when around a gas appliance or container.
- If you smell gas, do not try to light the appliance. Call HomeWorks for a service technician to assist you.
- Read and follow the operating and lighting instructions and warning labels provided by the appliance manufacturer.
- 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 to assist you.
- Never force any appliance control. If you cannot operate the knobs, switches, or buttons by hand, call your supplier. NEVER tamper with the controls.
- Keep combustibles, such as curtains, paper, cleaning fluids, etc., away from any energy source, including gas and electric appliances where they may cause a fire.
- Have a B/C rated fire extinguisher readily available. Be sure it is charged and that you and your family know how to use it.
