SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Fire, burn, inhalation, and explosion
hazard. Keep solid combustibles, such as building
materials, wood, vinyl siding, paper or cardboard, a
safe distance away from the heater as recommended
by the instructions. Never use the heater in spaces
which do or may contain volatile or airborne combus-
tibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint
thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals.
WARNINGS
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, al-
teration, service or maintenance can cause injury,
property damage, or death. Read the installation,
operating, and maintenance instructions thoroughly
before installing or servicing this equipment.
The heater is designed for use as an infrared patio heater in
accordance with the applicable requirements CSA 5.90 U.S Infrared
Patio Heaters and the requirements of UL's outline of investigation
for gas-fired Infrared Patio Heaters operated at high pressures.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heating products
for specific uses. Your local authority can advise you about these.
The primary purpose of outdoor patio heaters is to provide heating
of residential and nonresidential spaces. Properly used, the heater
provides safe economical heating.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our heaters.
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL FIRE SAFETY AUTHORITY
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HEATER USE.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propane/LP gas is odorless. An odor-making agent
is added to propane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect a propane/LP
gas leak. However, the odor added to propane/LP gas may fade.
Propane/LP gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual
for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
• Install and use heater with care. Follow all local ordinances and
codes. In the absence of local ordinances and codes, refer to the
Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas,
ANSI/NFPA 58. This instructs on the safe storage and handling
of propane/LP gases.
• Use only propane/LP gas set up for vapor withdrawal in a 20 lb.
cylinder. Cylinder must be constructed and marked in accor-
dance with specifications for propane/LP cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be pro-
vided with a shutoff valve terminating in a propane/LP supply
cylinder valve outlet. The valve must have external threads and
marked "Use with Type 1" and a safety relief device having a
direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. The
cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
• This heater produces carbon monoxide, which is listed by the
State of California as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65.
Chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm are created by the combus-
tion of propane/LP gas.
• For outdoor use only. Do not use heater indoors or in any
unventilated or enclosed areas. This heater uses oxygen. Do not
use in unventilated or enclosed areas where carbon monoxide
poisoning may occur.
• Do not use heater in basement or below ground level. Propane/
LP gas is heavier than air. If a leak occurs, propane/LP gas will
sink to the lowest possible level.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, paint thinner, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Dust is combustible. Do not use heater in areas with high dust
content.
• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles: Back: 18 inches;
Top, Front and Sides: 42 inches (see Figure 1, page 3).
• Before each use, check heater for leaks. Never use an open flame
to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and water to
all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Correct all leaks at once.
• Keep propane/LP cylinder below 100° F (38°C).
• Use only the hose and factory preset regulator provided with the
heater. Do not adjust regulator as gas leaks may occur.
