PROPANE GAS INFORMATION
Propane gas is odorless; an odor-making agent is
added to propane to help users detect a propane
leak. The odor-making agent may fade, and gas
may be present even without an odor.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. This manual is a guide to safe and
proper operation of this propane heater.
1. Install and use this heater with care, in
accordance with the operation and warning
guidelines. Follow all local ordinances
and codes, and refer to the Standard for
Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum
Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58 and the Propane Gas
Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.2.
2. Use only the electrical voltage and frequency
specified on the model plate. The electrical
connections and grounding of the heater must
follow the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
3. 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.

ODOR FADING
1. Some people are unable to smell the odor of
the man-made chemical added to propane
(LP) or natural gas. Before using this product,
you need to determine if you are able to smell
the odorant used in these fuel gases.
2. Local propane (LP) gas dealers will provide
a scratch-and-sniff pamphlet to help you
become familiar with the odor used with
fuel gas.
3. Smoking and the presence of animals can
affect your sensitivity to odors.
4. Odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is
colorless and the odor (or intensity of the odor)
can fade over time.
5. If there is an underground leak, soil can filter
the odorant.
6. Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air; the odor
may be more intense at lower levels.
7. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor.
If you continue to detect the odor, treat this
as a serious leak. See warnings discussed
previously for propane (LP) gas leak procedure.
