QUESTIONS ABOUT HEATER USE.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or
nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have heater serviced.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propane/LP gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to propane/LP gas.
The odor helps you detect a propane/LP gas leak.
However, the odor added to propane/LP gas may
fade. Propane/LP gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warn-
ings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your
guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
1. Install and use heater with care. Follow all
local ordinances and codes. In the absence of
local ordinances and codes, refer to the
Stan-
dard for Storage and Handling of Liquefied
Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58, CAN/-B149
Installation CODE
. This instructs on the safe
storage and handling of propane/LP gases.
2. Use only propane/LP gas set up for vapor
withdrawal in a 20 lb. cylinder. Cylinder must
be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications for propane/LP cylinders of the
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The
cylinder must be provided with a shutoff valve
terminating in a propane/LP supply cylinder
valve outlet. The valve must have external

nication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
