7.In case of a gas leak

Gas Leak
○ If you noticed anything unusual regarding the gas
Using the gas improperly is very dangerous.
If you smell gas, please calmly perform the following procedures:
①

Fully open the windows and doors.
Natural gas (city gas) can be diffused because it is lighter than air, but propane gas stays close to the floor because it is heavier than the air. It is necessary to fan it out of the room.
②

Close gas valves and the meter cock.
③ Contact your local gas company.
④ Avoid turning electrical appliances on and off.
Installing a device that detects gas leaks and sets off a sound and lamp alarm is advisable. These can also be leased.
