 WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s
manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, oper-
ate, or service this heater. Im-
proper use of this heater can
cause serious injury or death from
burns, fire, explosion, electrical
shock, and carbon monoxide poi-
soning.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

SAFETY
INFORMATION

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early

signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble 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 affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP Gas:

 Propane/LP gas is odor-

less. 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 can 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.

 WARNING: Any change to

this heater or its controls can be
dangerous.

10. Surface of heater becomes very hot

when running heater. Keep children and
adults away from hot surface to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.  Heater will
remain hot for a time after shutdown.

when they are in same room with heater.

12. Make sure screen is in place before run-

ning heater.

13. Before using furniture polish, wax, car-

pet cleaner, or similar products, turn
heater off. If heated, the vapors from
these products may create a white pow-
der residue within burner box or on
adjacent walls or furniture.

14. Do not use heater if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a quali-
fied service technician to inspect the
room heater and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.

before servicing. Only a qualified service
person should service and repair heater.
