Safety and Warranty
WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
Combustion by-products produced when using this product contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
• Never leave heater unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.
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 “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade
over time 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
ignition 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 withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.
WARNING
• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to
avoid burning skin or igniting clothing.
• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity of the heater.
• Do not hang clothing or any other ammable materials from the heater, or place on or near the heater.
• Replace any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualied service person. The heater should be inspected before
use and annually by a qualied service person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is
imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept
clean.
