-Contact your dealer for assistance if bubbles continue to appear.
-Never leak test while smoking.
FUEL GAS ODOR
LP gas and natural gas have manmade 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.
-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 reenter 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.

-Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible
blockage include:
oGas dour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
oHeater does NOT reach the desired temperature.
oHeater glow is excessively uneven.
-Heater makes popping noises.
-Spider and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage heater and render it unsafe
for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller
particles.
-Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean reflector and glass tube inside with soapy water if any carbon
develops. Always be careful when cleaning the glass tube.
STORAGE:
