Safety Information – Bermuda Gas

Propane Safety:

It’s important to know how to turn your propane tank valves on and off as needed. On most Bermuda Gas valves, the hand wheel is turned clockwise several turns until tight to turn it off.
While propane is odorless when it is created, an additional chemical is added to the gas in order to give it its recognizable scent. Familiarize yourself with this distinct smell in order to quickly identify a leak should one occur.
If there is a leak or another emergency, be sure to shut off the gas completely and call Bermuda emergency services on 298-6114.
Water is damaging! The internal safety mechanism of your appliances can be affected by water and cause them to malfunction. If this is the case, call us at 295-3111, to have our technicians replace them immediately.

Always use your grill outdoors, in a well-ventilated area.
Always follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions and keep written materials and manuals in a safe, accessible place.
Make sure the grill burner controls are turned off and keep the cylinder valve closed and disconnected when not in use.
Make sure the gas grill is shut off and cool to the touch before covering your grill after use.
Store cylinders upright at all times (in transport, storage and in use) and outdoors away from dryer and furnace vents or other sources of heat.
After filling, take your cylinder home immediately. Keep the cylinder upright and your car ventilated. Do not leave the cylinder in your car.
Before lighting your propane gas grill burner, check all connections for tightness.
Never use matches or lighters to check for leaks!
If there is a significant release of gas or a fire, call the Bermuda Fire Service immediately and move all people and pets away from the unit.
Do not store the cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area.
