Caution: This appliance is for outdoor use only (outside any enclosure). Always make sure there is fresh air ventilation.

Always maintain at least 36” clearance (top) and 24” clearance (side) from combustible materials.

Always place heater on a hard and level surface.

Do not use if the wind velocity is greater than 10 miles per hour.

Unit will operate at reduced efficiency below 40ºF (5ºC).

Keep sprinklers and other water sources away from burner and controls.

Always use extreme caution when near heater. Alert both children and adults to the hazards of high temperatures, especially to avoid burns or clothing catching fire.

Young children and pets should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of heater.

Do not hang clothing or other flammable materials either on or near heater.

Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the heater must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

Certain materials or items, when stored under heater, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously damaged.

Do not alter heater in any manner.

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used and replacements must be those specified by the manufacturer.

Inspect heater before each use. If a damaged part is detected, do not operate until an original equipment replacement part has been properly installed. Use of unauthorized parts will void warranty and create an unsafe condition.

Do not attempt to use this appliance without a functional factory-supplied gas regulator in place. If regulator becomes damaged, use only a factory-supplied replacement.

Prior to operating heater, replace any guards or protective devices removed for servicing.

Contact 1-800-762-1142 for assistance. Do not return to place of purchase.

Caution: Liquid propane (LP) gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the characteristics before using any LP product.

LP Characteristics – Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air - settles in pools in low areas.

In its natural state, propane has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that smells like rotten cabbage.

Contact with LP can cause freeze burns to skin.

This heater is shipped from the factory for LP gas use only.

Use only Department of Transportation (DOT) approved “20 lb.” LP gas cylinders (same as those commonly used on gas grills) with Acme / Type 1 / QCC safety valves. These valves can be quickly identified because they have external and internal threads.

Never use an LP cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar, or footring.

Dented or rusted LP cylinders may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier.

The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawl.

The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

When heater is not in use, turn LP cylinder OFF.

Always perform a leak test on gas connections whenever a cylinder is connected. Never use a flame to test for leaks. Do not smoke while performing a leak test.

Caution: It is essential to keep the heater’s valve compartment, burners, and circulating air passages clean.

Spiders and insects can create a dangerous condition that may damage heater or make it unsafe. Keep burner area clean of all spiders, webs, or insects.

Inspect heater before each use.

Have heater inspected annually and repairs should be made by a qualified service person.

Check heater immediately if any of the following conditions exist:

The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of burner flames.

Heater does not reach proper temperature.

Note: At temperatures less than 40ºF, heat output will be reduced.

Heater’s glow is excessively uneven

Burner makes popping noises during use.

Note: A slight pop is normal when burner is extinguished.

Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Keep dome and emitter clean at all times.

Do not clean heater with combustible or corrosive cleaners. Use warm, soapy water.

Do not paint engine, engine access panel or dome.
