Although propane fridges can serve their owners safely for many years, annual servicing is vital, say experts with the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Rela- tions (MCCR). In 1985, three Ontario residents were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning when propane fridges malfunctioned due to im- proper maintenance. In the last decade, 36 people died in similar incidents. Seasonal operation of the ap- pliances -- most are used only during summer months -- is a major reason for malfunctions, says Bob Clendining, director of the ministry's Fuels Safety Branch. While sitting unused, the burners and flue passages can become blocked by dust, cobwebs and debris. If the appliances are not careful- ly checked and cleaned before they are started again, deadly carbon monoxide could be produced. In a 1984 tragedy, typical of pro- pane fridge accidents, an elderly couple died when the refrigerator at their cottage produced lethal doses of the gas. Experts later found the propane burner had become fouled. It was the first time the cottage had been used that year and all the windows were tightly sealed, as they had been all winter. The couple died in their sleep. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that causes dizziness, nausea, headaches and, in large doses, death. Owners of propane fridges should have the appliances tuned-up and cleaned as part of the annual cottage-opening routine. Do not operate the refrigerator until it has been serviced, Clendining advises. "Unless you're an expert, have the maintenance done by a profes- sional,'"' he says. Your propane dealer will be able to give you the name of a qualified propane refrigerator service person. : Since propane 1. odorless, a rotten egg or cabbage scent is added to make it easily detectable. If you ference, attended by more than 500 delegates from all across the pro- vince, Mrs. Muriel Berry, a Business Teacher from Port Perry High School, was asked to join the Provincial Executive of the Associa- tion as Law Chairperson for Ontario. Responsibilities will include set- ting up Workshops for Law Teachers at Regional Conferences in Ottawa and Toronto this Fall, and at the Provincial Conference next Spring. ever notice this smell, don't light a match or turn an electrical switch on or off. A small spark could cause an explosion. Open all the doors and windows, leave the building and turn off the propane valve on the outside tank. Call in an expert to find the leak and do not use the appliance until it has been repaired. Further information is available in a brochure entitled Living Safe- ly with Propane, produced by the ministry.
