DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE NOT
CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
• Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an odorant added by the
gas supplier that aids in detection of the gas.
• Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg” smell.
• Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the odorant to diminish in
intensity, or “fade”, and not be as readily detectable.
• If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way unsure of the presence of
gas, immediately contact your gas supplier from a telephone in another building.
• Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing professional for
more information.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if
there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as
pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:

WARNING
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank, water line connections,
or the combination temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area
adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be
avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the water heater. The drain pan depth
must be suitable for draining and collecting water, and have a minimum length and width of at
least 4 inches (10.2 cm) measured from the jacket of the water heater. The drain pan, as
described above, can be purchased from your plumbing professional. The drain pan must be
piped to an adequate drain. The piping must be at least ¾ inch (1.9 cm) in diameter and
pitched for proper drainage.
