Safety Tips For Propane Appliances
Recently our
Certified Technicians received their monthly newsletter
from TSSA (Technical Standards & Safety Authority).
Included was a list of Safety Tips when using propane appliances.
1. Camping heaters should only be used in a well-ventilated area.
2. Only appliances that are vented to the outdoors are appropriate
for Recreational Vehicles.
3. Before using any fuel-burning appliance, check for spider
webs, dust and other tiny bits of debris that can close
burner ports and create a Carbon Monoxide and or fire hazard.
4. Read the manufacturer's labels, service instructions
and operating directions carefully. Even if you have used
the camp stove 50 times, make sure you know exactly what
it is intended to do and how to operate it properly.
5. When buying new equipment, always look for the CSA International,
Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC), Canadian Gas
Association (CGA), or ETL (Warnock Hersey) symbol to ensure
the product has been tested and complies with Canadian safety
standards.
6. Many cottages and hunting camp cabins are equipped with
propane appliances. If you have a propane refrigerator,
make sure it has been serviced within the year by a Certified
Propane Technician. Servicing is important because lethal
quantities of Carbon Monoxide can be produced by a refrigerator
flame that is improperly adjusted or partially blocked by
dirt.
