Safety Precautions for Old Rinnai Gas Heaters
Always follow safety guidelines when operating old Rinnai gas heaters. If you smell gas‚ do not light appliances or use electrical switches; evacuate and call your gas supplier immediately. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and never override safety shut-offs. Regularly inspect gas lines for leaks using soapy water‚ and replace worn-out parts promptly. Keep the heater away from flammable materials and maintain clearance as specified in the manual. Avoid using unapproved extensions or modifications‚ as they can pose serious risks. Schedule annual inspections by a certified technician to ensure safe operation. Never attempt repairs without shutting off the gas supply and electrical power. Follow all manufacturer instructions to minimize hazards and ensure reliable performance.
1.1. What to Do If You Smell Gas
If you smell gas‚ act immediately to ensure safety. Do not light any appliances‚ use electrical switches‚ or phones. Evacuate the area and call your gas supplier or fire department from a safe location. Follow their instructions precisely and avoid returning until the issue is resolved. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent gas accumulation. Always prioritize caution to minimize risks associated with gas leaks.
