DANGER
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

odor.

WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is
invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is normally
added to help detect leaks and can be described as a
“rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so
leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will
sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by ignition
sources includingmatches, lighters, sparks or open flames
of any kind many feet away from the original leak. Use
only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.
• Disconnect propane before storing the heater.
