This heater is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce
carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is
designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if
used and maintained in accordance with all warnings and instructions.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, watery eyes,
headaches, dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can't see it and you
can't smell it. It's an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present during
operation of this product, get fresh air immediately!

5
DANGER: EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD
During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. This heater is red
hot during use and can ignite flammables too close to the burner. Minimum
heater clearances from combustible materials: 3' (1 m) from the sides and
3' (1 m) from the top.
Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard,
a safe distance away from the heater.
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber.
Never use this heater in spaces which do or may contain volatile or airborne
combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust
particles, unknown chemicals or other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not use this heater in areas with high dust content.

PROPANE SAFETY
WARNING
Fuels used in liquefied propane gas appliances, and the combustion
products of such fuels, can expose you to chemicals such as benzene,
which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless
and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can
be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so
leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
• Never use or store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights,
direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed
120°F (49°C).
• Propane gas vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places.
It can be ignited by ignition sources such as matches, lighters, sparks, lit
cigarettes/cigars or open flames of any kind, even those many feet away
from the original leak. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (in the United States) or the standard for cylinders, spheres
and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods and commission, CAN/
CSA-B339 (in Canada). Never connect an unregulated propane cylinder to
the heater.
• The cylinder must have a connection device compatible with the
connection for this appliance.
• The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
• The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention device. Never fill the
propane cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

7
• Never install or remove the propane cylinder while the heater is lit, near flame,
pilot lights or other ignition sources, or while the heater is hot to touch.
• A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and
should be checked by your cylinder supplier. Never use a propane cylinder
with a damaged valve connection.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes
or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn o propane when not in use.
• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated space out of reach
of children. Never store the propane cylinder in an enclosed area such as a
house, garage, etc. If you are storing the patio heater indoors, disconnect
the propane cylinder and store it separately outdoors.
• Place the dust cap on the propane 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 propane leakage.
• For more information, see chapter 5 of the standard for storage and
handling of liquefied petroleum gas, ANS/NFPA 58. Your local library or
fire department should have this book.

• It is very important that the control compartment, burner and circulating air
passageways of the heater be kept clean. More frequent cleaning may be
required as necessary.
• Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices, which can damage the
heater and render it unsafe for use.
• Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. See the Care and Maintenance
section for cleaning instructions.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The
heater should be inspected before use and annually by a qualified service
person. Make sure the heater is cool before servicing.

for specific uses. Your local authorities can advise you about these. In
the United States, the installation must conform with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, follow National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1/
NFPA54. In Canada, the installation must confirm to local codes. If no
local codes exist, follow the current National Standards of Canada CAN/
CGA-B149.2.
• Every part of the heater shall be secure against displacement and shall
be constructed to maintain a fixed relationship between essential parts
under normal and reasonable conditions of handling and usage. Parts
not permanently secured shall be designed so they cannot be incorrectly
assembled and cannot be improperly located or misaligned in removing or
replacing during cleaning or other servicing.
