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.

Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2. This instructs on the safe storage and
handling of propane gases.

tional Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electric Code, Part 1.
