Caution: This appliance is for outdoor use only (outside any enclosure).
Always make sure there is fresh air ventilation.

• Heater operates at reduced efficiency below 40ºF (5ºC).
• Keep sprinklers and other water sources away from burner and controls.
• When using the gas extension hose always locate the hose out of
pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may
be subject to accidental damage.
• Always use extreme caution when near heater. Alert both children

radiant heat and could be seriously damaged.

• The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance
must be used and replacements must be those specified by the
manufacturer.
• Inspect heater and extension hose before each use of the appliance. If a
damaged part is detected, do not operate until an original equipment
replacement part has been properly installed. Use of unauthorized parts
will void warranty and create an unsafe condition.
