Before connecting your propane cylinder, please read these
important instructions.
• The propane gas and cylinder are sold separately. Use a standard 20 lb.
propane cylinder only – approximately 12.2" (31 cm) in diameter and
17.9" ( 45.5 cm) high.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• The maximum inlet gas supply pressure: 250 psi/1750 kPa. The minimum
inlet gas supply pressure: 25 psi /175 kPa. Manifold pressure with
regulator provided: 11 inch W.C/2.74 kPa. The pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used.
• The propane cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance
with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (in the United States) or the standard for cylinders, spheres
and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods and commission, CAN/
CSA-B339 (in Canada). Never connect an unregulated propane cylinder to
the heater.
• The cylinder must have a connection device compatible with the
connection for this appliance.
• The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
• The cylinder must have a listed overfilling prevention device.
• Never fill the propane cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
• Never install or remove the propane cylinder while heater is lit, near flame,
pilot lights or other ignition sources, or while heater is hot to touch.
• A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and
should be checked by your cylinder supplier. Never use a propane cylinder
with a damaged valve connection.
• For more information, see chapter 5 of the standard for storage and
handling of liquefied petroleum gas, ANS/NFPA 58. Your local library or
fire department should have this book.
