SAFETY

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s 

manual carefully and completely 

before trying to assemble, op-

erate,  or  service  this  heater. 

Improper use of this heater can 

cause  serious  injury  or  death 

from  burns,  fire,  explosion, 

electrical  shock  and  carbon 

monoxide poisoning.

Only a qualified installer, service 

agent, or local gas supplier may 

install and service this product.

  WARNING:  Keep  the  appli-

ance area clear and free from 

combustible materials, gasoline, 

and other flammable vapors and 

liquids.

  WARNING:  This  appliance 

can  be  used  with  propane  or 

natural gas. It is shipped from 

the factory adjusted for use with 

propane.

This  appliance  is  only  for  use 

with the type of gas indicated on 

the rating plate. This appliance 

is not convertible for use with 

other gases.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide 

poisoning may lead to death!

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:

 Early 

signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble 

the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. 

If you have these signs, the heater may not be 

working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have 

heater serviced. Some people are more af-

fected by carbon monoxide than others. These 

include pregnant women, people with heart or 

lung disease or anemia, those under the influ-

ence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

NATURAL AND PROPANE GAS: 

Natural and 

Propane gas are odorless. An odor-making 

agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you 

detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to 

the gas can fade. Gas may be present even 

though no odor exists.

  WARNING:  Any  change  to 

this heater or its controls can 

be dangerous.

 WARNING: Do not use any 

accessories  not  approved  for 

use with this heater.

 WARNING: Carefully super-

vise young children when they 

are in the room with the heater.

  WARNING:  Make  sure  grill 

guard is in place before running 

heater.

 WARNING: Due to high tem-

peratures, the appliance should 

be located out of traffic and away 

from furniture and draperies.

 WARNING: Heater becomes 

very hot when running. Children 

and  adults  should  be  alerted 

to the hazards of high surface 

temperatures  and  should  stay 

away to avoid burns and cloth-

ing ignition. Heater will remain 

hot for a time after shutoff. Allow 

surfaces to cool before touching.

  WARNING:  Do  not  place 

clothing  or  other  flammable 

material  on  or  near  the  appli-

ance.  Never  place  any  objects 

in the heater.
