DANGER

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This heater is a combustion appliance. All combustion

appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the

combustion process. This product is designed to produce

extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used

and maintained in accordance with all warnings and

instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the heater.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like

an invisible killer. If these symptoms are present during

operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

• For outdoor use only .

heaters.

Check with your local fire safety authority if you have

questions about heater use.

Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat

producing products for specific uses. Your local authorities

can advise you about these.

If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code,

ANS Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to local

codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current National

standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.

use with any device.

WARNING

Assembly Instructions

• 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

ofanykindmanyfeetawayfromtheoriginalleak.Useonly

propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

• Propane gas should be stored or used in compliance with

local ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn off

propane when not in use.

• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate

in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane cylinder while heater is

lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources or

while heater is hot to touch.

• This heater is red hot during use and can ignite
