When an earthquake occurs

Even if a big earthquake occurs, don't panic and protect yourself!

Step 1: First, hide under a table or somewhere similar.

In the event of an earthquake equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 or higher, the gas meter (microcomputer meter) will automatically cut off the gas supply.

Step 2: Once the shaking has subsided, turn off the gas.

If you are using gas appliances, turn them off.

Step 3: After an earthquake, make sure it is safe before using gas.

  • Do you smell gas around your gas appliances?
     
  • Is there any abnormality such as deformation or damage to the gas appliance?
     
  • Are there any abnormalities such as loosening, dents, or holes in the indoor and outdoor ventilation equipment such as chimneys?

When there is no gas

Step 1: Make sure the gas main valve is open.

Try opening the main valve and seeing if it ignites.

Step 2: Make sure your ignition method is correct.

Please check the instruction manual for your gas appliance for instructions on how to ignite it.

Step 3: Check whether other gas appliances can be used.

If other gas appliances work, the gas appliance may be broken.

For details, please contact the manufacturer.
