SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARN IN G!
Lack of ventilation can cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning can kill.
Signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning are, headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. Should
anyone show these signs, they must GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. Turn off the heater and
have it serviced before using again.
Pregnant women, persons with a heart or lung condition, anaemia or under the influence
of alcohol, or those at high altitudes, are more likely to be effected by Carbon Monoxide
than others.
Read, and make sure you fully understand the following precautions and the hazards
associated with this type of equipment.
• Use ONLY Propane gas
• Ensure the Propane gas bottle, gas hose and electric cable, are positioned behind
the unit, well away from the heat
• Ensure all gas hose and regulator connections are GAS TIGHT, and the hose is not
kinked.
• NEVER use the heater where Gasoline, Paint thinner or other highly flammable vapour
or high dust content is present.
• Use ONLY with the electrical voltage specified, and ensure the appliance is properly
earthed.
• Use ONLY in well ventilated areas. Provide ventilation of at least 100 square inches of
fresh air for every 100,000 BTU/ hr of rating.
• The minimum clearance from any combustible materials is 8 feet (250cm) from hot
air outlet and 4 feet (125cm) from the top and sides.
• Stand the heater on a stable, level surface whilst hot or operating. If the heater
should overturn, a fire could occur.

• Disconnect the heater from the power supply when not in use.
• Use ONLY the regulator supplied with the machine.
• DO NOT exceed the limit of 240Btu/hr, per square metre of room area.
• If the machine works for long periods at maximum capacity, be aware that it is possible
for ice to form on the cylinder, due to excessive evaporation.
• NEVER direct hot air towards the cylinder in order to de-ice.
