APPLIANCE SAFETY
- Follow the manufacturer's directions regarding care and operation.
- Repairs and installations are for experts - have trained people do the work.
- A gas flame should be primarily blue. If it is yellow or orange, turn off the equipment and call for service (gas fireplaces are an exception).
- Always make sure there is no gas buildup around a pilot or burner before you relight it.
- Keep the flues of your gas appliances clean and properly vented. If you installed a gas conversion burner in the past year, be alert for soot and buildup from previous fuel. A buildup could block the flue and chimney base.
- Teach children to never turn on or light gas appliances.
