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.
It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
• Install and use heater with care. Follow all local ordinances and codes. In the

absence of local ordinances and codes, refer to the Standard for Storage and
Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58
 and the Natural Gas
Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2.
 This instructs on the safe storage and
handling of propane gases.

• Use only the electrical voltage and frequency specified on model plate.
• The electrical connections and grounding of the heater shall follow the Na-

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

• Electrical grounding instructions — This appliance is equipped with a three-

prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

• Use only a three-prong, grounded extension cord.
• Use only the hose and factory preset regulator provided with the heater.
• Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Provide adequate ventilation. Before using heater, provide at least a 1.5 square

foot opening of fresh, outside air. This heater produces carbon monoxide, which
is listed by the State of California as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65.

• For indoor use only. Do not use heater outdoors.
• Do not use heater in occupied dwellings or in living or sleeping quarters.
• Do not use heater below ground level. Propane gas is heavier than air. If a leak

occurs, propane gas will sink to the lowest possible level.

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint

thinner, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas
with high dust content.

• Minimum heater clearances from combustibles:

Outlet: 6 Ft. Sides: 2 Ft.

Top: 6 Ft.

Rear: 2 Ft.

• Keep heater at least six feet from propane tank(s). Do not point heater at

propane tank(s) within 20 feet.

• Keep propane tank(s) below 100

°

 F.

• Check heater for damage before each use. Do not use a damaged heater.
• Check hose before each use of heater. If highly worn or cut, replace before

using heater.

• Locate heater on stable and level surface if heater is hot or operating.
• Not intended for use on finished floors.
• Never block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front) of heater.
• Keep heater away from strong drafts, water spray, rain, or dripping water.
• Do not leave heater unattended.
• Keep children and animals away from heater.
• Never move, handle, or service a hot, operating, or plugged-in heater. Severe

burns may result. Wait 20 minutes after turning heater off.

• To prevent injury, wear gloves when handling heater.
• Never attach duct work to heater.
• Do not alter heater. Keep heater in its original state.
• Do not use heater if altered.
• Turn off propane supply and unplug heater when not in use.
• Use only original replacement parts. This heater must use design-specific

parts. Do not substitute or use generic parts. Improper replacement parts could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
