WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this
heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their
own, unless constant supervision is provided.
Failure to comply with the precauons and the instrucons provided with this heat lamp can result in
death, serious injury and property damage or loss from hazards of re, explosion and burns.
During operaon, this product can be a source of ignion. Keep the heater area clear and free from
combusble materials, gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other ammable vapors
and liquids.
Minimum heater clearances from combusbles is three feet from the sides and two feet from the top
of the heater.
NEVER operate this device with the protected heang element opening blocked. Keep this opening
free of lint, hair, etc. Never operate on or near a so surface such as a pillow, blanket, or bed where
this air opening may be blocked.
NEVER store propane near high heat, open ames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignion sources
or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F.
Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area
immediately.
NEVER install or remove propane cylinder while the heater is lit, near ame, pilot lights, other ignion
sources or while the heater is hot to the touch.
Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well venlated space out of reach of children. NEVER store
the propane cylinder in an enclosed area. If storing indoors, disconnect the cylinder.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locaons. NEVER
locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container. To protect against electrical
hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids.
Check with your local re safety authority if you have quesons about heater use. Other standards
govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products for specic uses. If no local codes exist,
follow the Naonal Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

SAVE THESE WARNINGS
This heater is a combuson appliance. All combuson appliances produces carbon monoxide (CO)
during the combuson process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous
amounts of CO. DO NOT block air ow into or out of the heater.
For outdoor use ONLY. NEVER use inside enclosed, non-venlated areas.
If you smell gas: 1. Shut o gas to the appliance. 2. Exnguish open ame. 3. If odor connues,
immediately call your gas supplier.
Keep all connecons and ngs clean. Make sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
Inspect hose before use. Replace if there is evidence of abrasion or wear.
During set up, check all connecons and ngs for leaks using soapy water. NEVER use a ame.
ALWAYS place the heater on a at, level surface. Use as a heang appliance only. NEVER alter in any
way or use with any device.
WARNING: This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and ammable.
An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “roen egg” smell. The
odorant can fade over me so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite
by ignion sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open ames of any kind many feet away from
the original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor with draw.
Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/
NFPA 58. Turn o propane when not in use.
NEVER install or remove propane cylinder while heater is lighted, near ame, pilot lights, other ignion
sources or while heater is hot to touch.
The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a well venlated space. NEVER store propane
cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the
propane cylinder for outdoor storage.

and/or re department should have this book.
OPERATION
1
The installaon must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes go by the Naonal Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 natural gas and propane installaon code CSA 8149.1 or propane storage
and handling code B149.2 A
dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your local
cylinder supplier. Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged valve connecon. The propane cylinder
must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specicaons for LPG tanks of the US Department
of Transportaon (DOT) or the standard for cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportaon of dangerous
goods and commission. CAN/CSA-B339.
• The cylinder must have listed overlling prevenon device
• The cylinder must have a connecon device compable with the connecon for the appliance
• The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve
• Never connect an unregulated propane cylinder to the heater
• Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or neat this appliance
• Never ll the cylinder beyond 80% full
• Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use
• Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
LEAK TEST
1. Make 2-3oz of test soluon: One part dish soap and three parts water.
2. Apply several drops of soluon where hose aaches to the regulator.
3. Apply several drops of soluon where the regulator connects to the cylinder.
4. Make sure the heater valves are o.
5. Turn the cylinder valve on.
IF BUBBLES APPEAR AT ANY CONNECTION, THERE IS A LEAK
A minimum supply pressure of .5PSI is required for the purpose of input adjustment of propane gas.
Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the appliance. A cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well venlated area out of reach of children. A
disconnected cylinder must have dust caps ghtly installed and must not be stored in an enclosed area
out of children’s reach.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure of 11 W.C. is required for hose adjustment. The minimum
hourly of 17,500BTU is required input rang. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
appliance must be used.
1. Turn cylinder o.
2. Tighten the hose/regulator connecon and perform another leak test. If bubbles connue to appear,
call customer service.
3. If a leak is detected at the regulator/cylinder valve connecon, disconnect then reconnect and perform
another leak test. If you connue to see bubbles aer several aempts, the cylinder valve is defecve.
Contact customer service for a replacement.
4. If no bubbles appear at any connecon, the connecons are secure.
NOTE: Whenever gas connecons are loosened pr removed, you must perform a leak test.
