 WARNING: This product con-

tains and/or generates chemicals 

known to the State of California 

to cause cancer or birth defects 

or other reproductive harm.

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s 

manual carefully and completely 

before  trying  to  assemble, 

operate  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.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide 

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 

Early signs of carbon 

monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-

aches, 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 affected 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/LP Gas:

 

Natural and Propane/

LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent is 

added to these gases. 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.
Make certain you read and understand all warn-

ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your 

guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

flammable  material  on  or  near 

the appliance. Never place any 

objects on the heater.

Surface of heater becomes very 

hot when running heater. Keep 

children and adults away from

down.  Allow  surface  to  cool 

before touching.

dren when they are in the same 

room with heater.

mable vapors and liquids.
