What are the danger signs that my appliance is unsafe?
A number of things may indicate that your appliance is unsafe:
· Stains, soot or discoloring around a gas fire or at the top of a gas water heater could mean that the flue or chimney is blocked
· Appliances that burn slowly, badly (floppy flames), or go out
· Condensation or dampness on surfaces in the room once the appliance is lit
· A strange smell when the appliance is on
If you are at all worried about a gas appliance, seek help. Don't delay and put yourself or others in danger.
