The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room That will take some of the odorant out of the gas reducing its odor intensity LP Gas may stratify in aclosed area and the odor intensity could vary at different levels Since it is heavier than air there may be more odor at lower levels Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor If you detect any odor treat it as a serious leak Immediately go into action as instructed earlier SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER Page 4 Learn to recognize the odor of LP gas Your local LP Gas Dealer can give you a Scratch and Sniff pamphlet Use it to find out what the propane odor smells like If you suspect that your LP Gas has a weak or abnormal odor call your LP Gas Dealer If you are not qualified do not light pilot lights perform service or make adjustments to appliances on the LP Gas system If you are qualified consciously think about the odor of LP Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or perform ing service or making adjustments Sometimes a basement or a closed up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP Gas odor Do not try to light pilot lights perform service or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP Gas Odor fade due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks is possible Therefore2. 15674 H 776 RH 620 R 775L R 775N R 6126 11712 DESCRIPTION Diverter Assembly Down Draft Shield RH 50 6 NAT 8 LPG RH 65 6 NAT Down Draft Shield RH 65 6 LPG Draft Diverter Plate Casing Top RH 50 6 Casing Top RH 65 6 Louver RH 50 6 3 Required RH 65 6 4 Required Casing Back Combustion Chamber Assembly RH 50 6 Combustion Chamber Assembly RH 65 6 Chamber Shield Right RH 50 6 Chamber Shield Right RH 65 6 Casing Side RH 50 6 Casing Side RH 65 6 Radiant Glass with Rope Gasket Blower Wheel Blower Housing and Chute Assembly Glass Frame Assembly Blower Cushion Inner Front Casing Bottom Assembly RH 50 6 Casing Bottom Assembly RH 65 6 Burner Casing Front with Heat Shield USA Casing Front with Heat Shield Canada Thermocouple Pouch Pilot Burner with Orifice LPG Pilot Burner with Orifice Nat Electrode and Wire Assembly Pilot Tubing RH 50 6 INDEX NO 23 24 25 25 26 26 26 26 27 28 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 Not Shown Not Shown Not Shown Not Shown Not Shown PART NUMBER 11713 RH 457 P 267 P 268 P86 3 mm P86 3 1mm P86 2 3nm P86 47 11746 R 6101 R 6102 11743 11700 R 6096 11728 R 587 R 2605 11722 11721 RH 653 R 2099 RH 656 R 2091 R 1468 R 896 R 1156 RH 863 DV 807 R 926 R 2706 742148 742250 RH 527 R 2707 UH 441 DESCRIPTION Pilot Tubing RH 65 6 Air Shut

8. people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service Odor fade can occur in new tanks or reinstalled old tanks if they are filled and allowed to set too long before refilling Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal rust which will cause odor fade If such conditions are suspected to exist a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable If you have any question about the gas odor call your LP gas dealer A periodic sniff test of the LP gas is a good safety measure under any condition If at any time you do not smell the LP Gas odorant and you think you should assume you have aleak Then take the same immediate action recommended above forthe occasion when you do detect the odorized LP Gas If you experience a complete gas out the container is under no vapor pressure turn the tank valve off immedi ately If the container valve is left on the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light orifices If this occurs some new internal rusting could occur If the valve is left open then treat the container as a new tank Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it refilled before it is completely empty 12822 2 0903 INTRODUCTION Introduction Always consult your local Building Department regarding regulations codes or ordi
