any other enclosed area.

buildings.

Do NOT use this outdoor fireplace for indoor heating. TOXIC carbon monoxide fumes

can accumulate and cause asphyxiation. This outdoor fireplace is NOT for commercial use. This outdoor fireplace is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The conversion to or

attempted use of natural gas in this outdoor fireplace is dangerous and will void your

warranty. LP gas Characteristics:

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

characteristics before using any LP gas product.

areas.

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