storage of LP cylinders must conform to LP Gas Code NFPA/ANSI
58. Appliance is not for use in or on recreational vehicle and/ or boats.

Questions regarding certification in other areas may be addressed to 800.251.0001.
4. Apartment Dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes
for using an LP Gas appliance at an apartment. If allowed, use outside on the ground
floor with a 10 foot clearance from walls or rails. Do NOT use appliance on or under
any apartment, condominium balcony or deck.
5. Before opening LP tank valve, check the coupling nut for tightness. When appliance is
not in use, turn off control knob to close LP tank valve on supply cylinder.
6. Never use LP tank if visibly rusted, damaged, or out of date.
7. If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from appliance onto valve, hose
or regulator, turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct, clean and
inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.
8. Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of
abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being
put into operation. (Use Mr Heater #F273071(5ft) or #F273072 (12’ft) Propane
Hose Assembly with Regulator).

position specified in Assembly Instructions.

spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas released
from the safety relief valve. Failure to follow these
instructions exactly could cause a fire resulting in death or
serious injury.
14. If you see, smell, or hear escaping gas, immediately get away
from the LP tank/appliance and call your fire department.
15. All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on the
LP tank outlet.
