WARNING

To prevent death, serious personal in-

jury or property damage due to fire or

explosion caused by a propane gas leak,

install a gas detecting warning device.
If the propane gas furnace is installed in

a basement, an excavated area or a con-

fined space, a warning device is required

due to:

• Propane gas is heavier than air and

any leaking gas can settle in any low

areas or confined spaces.

• Propane gas odorant may fade, mak-

ing the gas undetectable except with

a warning device.

If the presence of gas is suspected, fol-

low the instructions on Page 2 of this

manual.
