SAFETY INFORMATION FOR USERS OF LP-GAS
LP-Gas (Propane) is a ammable gas which can cause res and explosions. In its natural state, propane is odorless and colorless. You may not know all the following safety precautions which can protect both you and your family from an accident. Read them carefully now, then review them point by point with the
members of your household. Someday, there may not be a minute to lose, everyone’s safety will depend on knowing ex­actly what to do. If, after reading the following information, you feel you still need more information, please contact your gas supplier.
LP-GAS WARNING ODOR
If a gas leak happens, you should be able to smell the gas because of the odorant put in the LP-Gas.
That’s your signal to go into immediate action!
Do not operate electric switches, light matches, use your phone. Do not do anything that could ignite the gas.
Get everyone out of the building, vehicle, trailer, or area. Do that IMMEDIATELY.
Close all gas tank or cylinder supply valves.
LP-Gas is heavier than air and may settle in low areas such as basements. When you have reason to suspect a gas leak, keep out of basements and other low areas. Stay out until reghters declare them to be safe.
Use your neighbor’s phone and call a trained LP-Gas service person and the re department. Even though you may not continue to smell gas, do not turn on the gas again. Do not re-enter the building, vehicle, trailer,
or area.
Finally, let the service man and reghters check for es­caped gas. Have them air out the area before you return. Properly trained LP-Gas service people should repair the leak, then check and relight the gas appliance for you.
NO ODOR DETECTED - ODOR FADE
Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell the odor of the chemical put into the gas. You must nd out if you can smell the odorant in propane. Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around an odor for a time can affect your sensitivity or ability to detect that odor. Sometimes other odors in the area mask the gas odor. People may not smell the gas odor or their minds are on something else. Thinking about smelling a gas odor can make it easier to smell.
The odorant in LP-Gas is colorless, and it can fade under some circumstances. For example, if there is an underground leak, the movement of the gas through soil can lter the odor­ant. Odorants in LP-Gas also are subject to oxidation. This
fading can occur if there is rust inside the storage tank or in
iron gas pipes.
The odorant in escaped gas can adsorb or absorb onto or into walls, masonry and other materials and fabrics in a room. That will take some of the odorant out of the gas, reducing its odor intensity.
LP-Gas may stratify in a closed area, and the odor intensity could vary at different levels. Since it is heavier than air, there may be more odor at lower levels. Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you detect any odor, treat it as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as instructed earlier.
Learn to recognize the odor of LP-Gas. Your local LP-Gas Dealer can give you a “Scratch and Sniff” pamphlet. Use it to nd out what the propane odor smells like. If you sus­pect that your LP-Gas has a weak or abnormal odor, call your LP-Gas Dealer.
If you are not qualied, do not light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments to appliances on the LP­Gas system. If you are qualied, consciously think about the odor of LP-Gas prior to and while lighting pilot lights or performing service or making adjustments.
Sometimes a basement or a closed-up house has a musty smell that can cover up the LP-Gas odor. Do not try to light pilot lights, perform service, or make adjustments in an area where the conditions are such that you may not detect the odor if there has been a leak of LP-Gas.
Odor fade, due to oxidation by rust or adsorption on walls of new cylinders and tanks, is possible. Therefore, people should be particularly alert and careful when new tanks or cylinders are placed in service. Odor fade can occur in new tanks, or reinstalled old tanks, if they are lled and allowed to set too long before relling. Cylinders and tanks which have been out of service for a time may develop internal
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
rust which will cause odor fade. If such conditions are suspected to exist, a periodic sniff test of the gas is advisable. If you have any question about the gas odor, call your LP-Gas dealer. A periodic sniff test of the LP­Gas is a good safety measure under any condition.
If, at any time, you do not smell the LP-Gas odorant and you think you should, assume you have a leak. Then take the same immediate action recommended above for the occasion when you do detect the odorized LP-Gas.
If you experience a complete “gas out,” (the container is under no vapor pressure), turn the tank valve off immediately. If the container valve is left on, the container may draw in some air through openings such as pilot light orices. If this occurs, some new internal rusting could occur. If the valve is left open, then treat the container as a new tank. Always be sure your container is under vapor pressure by turning it off at the container before it goes completely empty or having it relled before it is completely empty.

1. Turn burner switches to the “ON” position. Adjust the remote thermostat to the desired temperature or press “ON” on the remote (if used). If the remote receiver has been set to “ON” for manual operation, the startup sequence will begin auto­matically and both Front and Rear burner lights will begin to ash.
If it is not desirable to operate both burners, only turn on the switch for the desired burner. When the startup sequence be­gins, only the light for the burner selected will begin to ash.
4. If operating both of the replace’s burners, after the rst burn­er is lit, the second igniter will start to glow red, the burner light will turn off, and the burner will light. Once the burner is lit, the light will illuminate steadily.
5. The Blower will activate on low automatically when the re­place is warm enough and the low speed blower light will il­luminate. The blower will automatically advance to a higher speed if it is needed, the blower speed will be indicated on the front control panel.
2. The light for the Exhaust Fan will illuminate as the replace prepares to ignite.
How to Change Burners – Switching Burners
If the replace is being operated on one burner, and it is desired to change and operate the other burner, rst turn the other burner “ON” before turning the original burner “OFF”. Example: If the front burner is operating and you would like to op­erate the rear burner instead, rst turn the rear burner switch “ON”, wait a second, then turn the front burner switch “OFF”. Following this sequence will speed the change from one burner to the other and prevent the replace from locking out and requiring a reset. The table below outlines the input rate of both front and rear burn-
ers.
