Gas accident prevention
•
Check if the flame of burner is out after use and do not forget to turn off the gas valve
(Fig. 15) and power.
•
Always check the gas connectors for gas leakage with soapsuds. If any gas leakage
is detected, open the room windows and doors. At that moment, do not ignite or
operate the switch of electric appliances or plugs because the flame or electric spark
can result in explosive accidents. (Fig. 16)
•
Heaters must use the gas type which the heater is designed to use, different type of
gas or the same gas in different place must not be used.
•
Always check the gas pipe and change the pipe every year to avoid gas leakage due
to cracking.
•
If the flame goes unsteadily, stop using the water heater and contact the qualified
service facility for repair or adjustment.
