SAVE THESE WARNINGS
This heater is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produces carbon monoxide (CO)
during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous
amounts of CO. DO NOT block air flow into or out of the heater.
For outdoor use ONLY. NEVER use inside enclosed, non-ventilated areas.
If you smell gas: 1. Shut off gas to the appliance. 2. Extinguish open flame. 3. If odor continues,
immediately call your gas supplier.
Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.
Inspect hose before use. Replace if there is evidence of abrasion or wear.
During set up, check all connections and fittings for leaks using soapy water. NEVER use a flame.
ALWAYS
place the heater on a flat, level surface. Use as a heating appliance only. NEVER alter in any
way or use with any device.
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 with draw.
Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/
NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
NEVER install or remove propane cylinder while heater is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition
sources or while heater is hot to touch.
The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated space.
NEVER
store propane
cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the
propane cylinder for outdoor storage.
