WARNING
: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WARNING
: This appliance can be used with propane or natural gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted for use with
propane.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness, or
nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air immediately! Have heater serviced. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease, people
who are anemic, those under the influence of alcohol, and those living in high altitudes.
NATURAL AND PROPANE/LP GAS
: Natural and Propane/LP gases are odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. Do not place
clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Never place any objects in the heater. Heater becomes very hot when
running. Keep children and adults away from hot surfaces to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Fireplace will remain hot for a time after

You must operate this heater with screen in place. Keep the heater area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
1. Do not place Propane/LP supply tank(s) inside any structure. Propane/LP supply tank(s) must be placed outdoors.
2. This heater needs fresh air ventilation to run properly. This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shut-off
system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 8
through 10. If heater keeps shutting off, see Troubleshooting, pages 22 through 23.
3. Keep all air openings in front and bottom of heater clear and free of debris. This will ensure enough air for proper combustion.
4. If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh, outside air. If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced.
5. Do not run heater:
• Where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored.
• Under dusty conditions.
6. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these products
may create a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
7. Always run heater with control knob at PILOT or ON locked positions. Never set control knob between locked positions. Poor
combustion and higher levels of carbon monoxide may result.
