WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing personal injury,
loss of life and property damage.
Since propane gas is heavier than air, escaping propane will accumulate and remain at ground level. Do
not attempt to light the heater. If you suspect a propane leak, lighting the heater can result in a fire or
explosion which can cause personal injury, death, and property damage.
