PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS DANGER AND WARNINGS
• Propane and natural gas are extremely flammable, explosive under pressure, and hazardous if handled improperly. Be
aware of the characteristics before using any propane and natural gas product.
• Natural gas is lighter than air, while propane is heavier than air and settles in pools in low areas.
• In its natural state, neither propane nor natural gas has an odor. For your safety, an odorant has been added.
• Contact with propane or natural gas could burn your skin.
Propane Warnings
• Propane fire features are set up to operate on propane only. Using natural gas will result in excessive carbon output during
burning.
• Propane cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
• Disconnected cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area.
• Never use a propane cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footing.
• Dented or rusted propane cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane gas supplier.

National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee. Only tanks marked “propane” may
be used.
• The propane supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders, or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339, as applicable; Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device,
