IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

PROPANE (LP) GAS DANGERS AND WARNINGS
!WARNING
LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before
using any LP gas product. Failure to understand and follow these warnings or any directions and
warnings provided by your LP gas supplier may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
!DANGER
An LP gas tank should never be placed on its side. Doing so may cause liquid propane to leak.
This could cause a fast buildup of LP gas and could lead to property damage, serious injury, or death.
LP Gas Characteristics
•LP gas is flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and settles in pools in low
areas. Pooled gas may ignite causing a fire or explosion which could cause property
damage, serious injury, or death.
•In its natural state, LP gas has no odor. For your safety, a scent has been added.
•Contact with LP gas could burn your skin.
LP Gas Tank Information
•LP gas tanks should be filled only by a certified LP gas dealer.
•Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
•Dented or rusted LP tanks may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier.
•The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with The Specifications
for LP Gas Tanks of The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or The National Standard
of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP Gas Tanks, Spheres and Tubes for The Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
• LP gas tanks must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
•LP gas tanks must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD) and a QCCI or Type I
(CGA810) LP gas tank connection.
•The LP gas tank must contain a shut-o valve as specified in The Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connection, ANSI/CGA-V-1-1977, CSA B96.
•Never attempt to attach this fireplace to the self-contained LP gas system of a camper,
trailer, motor home or house.
•Hand-turn the manual gas control valve on your LP gas tank. Never use tools. If the valve
will not turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a certified gas technician.
• The use of force or any attempt at amateur repair may cause a fire or explosion.
LP Gas Tank Storage and Safety
•LP gas tanks must be stored upright and outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
•Never store an LP gas tank in an enclosed area, such as a shed or garage. Leaking gas could build
up in these areas and may result in an explosion.
•Do not store LP gas tanks near any source of flame or ignition.
•Never store an LP gas tank in direct sunlight or where temperatures can reach 125°F (51.67°C) or higher.
•Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to
increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
•Place the dust cap on the LP gas tank valve outlet when the LP gas is not in use. Only use
the dust cap that is provided with the LP gas tank. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of LP gas.
•The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly.
