ODOR FADE WARNING
WARNING
Asphyxiation Hazard
• Donotusethisheaterforheatinghumanliving 
quarters.
• Donotuseinunventilatedareas.
• Theflowofcombustionandventilationairmust 
not be obstructed.
• Properventilationairmustbeprovidedto  
supportthecombustionairrequirementsofthe 
heater being used.
• Refertothespecificationsectionoftheheater’s 
manual, heater dataplate, or contact the factory
todeterminecombustionairventilation  
requirementsoftheheater.
• Lackofproperventilationairwillleadto  
improper combustion.
• Impropercombustioncanleadtocarbon  
monoxidepoisoningleadingtoseriousinjuryor 
death.Symptomofcarbonmonoxidepoisoning 
can include headaches, dizziness and difficulty
in breathing.
FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man-made odorants added
specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel
gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you should smell
for the gas odor low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOR IS YOUR
SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!
 •Donottakeanyactionthatcouldignitethefuelgas.Donot
operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any power supply
orextensioncords.Donotlightmatchesoranyothersource
of flame. Do not use your telephone.
 •Geteveryoneoutofthebuildingandawayfromthearea
immediately.
 •Closeallpropane(LP)gastankorcylinderfuelsupplyvalves,
orthemainfuelsupplyvalvelocatedatthemeterifyouuse
natural gas.
 •Propane(LP)gasisheavierthanairandmaysettleinlow
areas.Whenyouhavereasontosuspectapropaneleak,keep
out of all low areas.
 •Useyourneighbor’sphoneandcallyourfuelgassupplierand
yourfiredepartment.Donotre-enterthebuildingorarea.
 •Stayoutofthebuildingandawayfromtheareauntildeclared
safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas supplier.
 •FINALLY,letthefuelgasservicepersonandthefirefighters
checkforescapedgas.Havethemairoutthebuildingand
areabeforeyoureturn.Properlytrainedservicepeoplemust
repair any leaks, check for further leakages, and then relight
the appliance for you.
ODOR FADING - NO ODOR DETECTED
•Somepeoplecannotsmellwell.Somepeoplecannotsmell
theodoroftheman-madechemicaladdedtopropane(LP)or
natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the odorant
in these fuel gases.
 •Learntorecognizetheodorofpropane(LP)gasandnatural
gas.Localpropane(LP)gasdealerswillbemorethanhappy
togiveyouascratchandsniffpamphlet.Useittobecome
familiar with the fuel gas odor.
 •Smokingcandecreaseyourabilitytosmell.Beingaroundan
odorforaperiodoftimecanaffectyoursensitivitytothat
particular odor. Odors present in animal confinement buildings
can mask fuel gas odor.
•The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is
colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under
some circumstances.
 •Ifthereisanundergroundleak,themovementofgasthrough
the soil can filter the odorant.
 •Propane(LP)gasodormaydifferinintensityatdifferentlevels.
SincePropane(LP)gasisheavierthanair,theremaybemore
odoratlowerlevels.
• Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small, treat
it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as discussed
previously.
ATTENTION - CRITICAL POINTS TO
REMEMBER!
 •Propane(LP)gashasadistinctiveodor.Learntorecognize
theseodors.(ReferenceFuelGasOdorandOdorFading
sectionstotheleftandabove).
 •Evenifyouarenotpropertytrainedintheserviceandrepair
oftheheater,ALWAYSbeconsciouslyawareoftheodorsof
propane(LP)gasandnaturalgas.
 •Ifyouhavenotbeenproperlytrainedinrepairandserviceof
propane(LP)gasthendonotattempttolightheater,perform
serviceorrepairs,ormakeanyadjustmentstotheheateron
thepropane(LP)gasfuelsystem.
 •Aperiodicsnifftestaroundtheheaterorattheheater’s
joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good safety practice
underanyconditions.Ifyousmellevenasmallamountofgas,
CONTACTYOURFUELGASSUPPLIERIMMEDIATELY.DONOT
WAIT!
