Accidents are always tragic especially because so many of them could have been prevented with little care
and judgment. There are some basic good practices, we hope you will follow for safe use of your heater.

• Always maintain proper clearance from combustible materials. Minimum clearance from combustibles:
Side - 24” (61 cm); Top - 36” (92 cm); Front - 72” (183 cm). Floor - combustible. Not for use on finished floors.
• Heater must be placed on level and stable surface.
• Never place anything including clothes or other flammable items on the heater.
• The appliance area shall be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapours and liquids.
• Do not modify or operate a heater which has been modified.
• Adequate clearance for accessibility and for combustion & ventilation air supply must be maintained at all times
when the heater is operating.
• Service and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before each
use and at least annually by a qualified person. More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. Do not
service while hot or operating.
• Never connect heater to an unregulated gas supply.

convert heater to any other gas. Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1
• The minimum and maximum inlet pressures to the regulator from the gas tank are 5 psi and bottle pressure,
respectively. Use only the regulator & hose assembly provided with the heater. Inspect the regulator/hose
assembly prior to each use of the heater. If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or hose is cut, replace with
regulator/hose assembly listed on the parts list prior to using this heater.
• Gas supply connections should be checked using a 50/50 solution of liquid dish soap and never use a flame to
check for gas leaks.
