WARNING
• 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.
•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
flames 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 flammable
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
qualified service person. The heater should
be inspected before use and annually by
a qualified 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.
CAUTION
SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make
sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
•During set up, check all connections and
fittings for leaks using soapy water. Never use
a flame.
•Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in
any way or use with any device.
