WARNINGS
Propane Gas:
Propane gas is odorless.
An odor-making agent is added to propane
gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas
leak. However, the odor added to propane
gas may fade. Propane 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 and the Propane Instal-
lation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2. This in-
structs on the safe storage and handling
of propane gases.
