WARNING
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An
odorant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell.
The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is
not always detectable by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It
can ignite by ignition sources including matches,
lighters, sparks or open flames of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only
propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in
compliance with local ordinances and codes or with
ANSI/NFPA 58.Turn off propane when not in use.
