W Apartment dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements

and fire codes for using a liquid propane (LP) gas outdoor fireplace in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten foot (3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do NOT use on or under balconies.

W This outdoor fireplace, from the factory, is for use with LP gas only. The

conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in this outdoor fireplace is dangerous, may cause bodily harm and will void your warranty.

W LP gas characteristics:

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become

aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.

b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles/

pools in low areas.

c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is

added that smells like rotten cabbage.

d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

W Your outdoor fireplace has been checked at all factory connections

for leaks. Recheck all connections as described in the “Operating Instructions” section, as shipping can loosen connections.

W Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you by someone

else.

W Do NOT operate if a gas leak is present. Gas leaks may cause a fire or

explosion.

W You must follow all instructions in the “Checking for Leaks” section

before operating. To prevent a fire or explosion when testing for a leak: a. Always perform a leak test before lighting this outdoor fireplace and

each time the tank is connected for use.

b. No smoking. Do NOT use or permit sources of ignition in the area

while conducting a leak test. c. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area. d. Do NOT use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks. e. The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may

impair the consumer’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate

the appliance. f. Strong odors, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the

detection of propane. Use caution and common sense when testing

for leaks. g. Do NOT use this outdoor fireplace until any and all leaks are

corrected.

If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the LP gas supply. Call a

gas appliance serviceman or your local LP gas supplier.

W Do NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors

within 25 feet (7.62 m) of this appliance.

W LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be

used. a. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance

with the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) Specifications for

LP-Gas Cylinders, or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/ CSA-B339 as applicable.

b. LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. c. The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device

(OPD) and a QCCI or Type I (CGA810) LP gas tank connection. d. The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve. e. Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or

footing. f. Dented or rusted LP gas tanks may be hazardous and should be

checked by your LP gas supplier prior to use. g. The LP gas tank should not be dropped or handled roughly. h. Tanks must be stored outdoors, out of the reach of children and

must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Your LP gas tank must never be stored where temperatures can

safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak.

Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury

or death. j. Never keep an LP gas tank in a hot car or trunk. Heat will cause the

gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow

gas to escape. k. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not

in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet

that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs

may result in leakage of propane. l. Do NOT store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance. m. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. n. A fire causing serious injury or damage to property may occur if the
