Important Safety Precautions

To ensure safe use of your outdoor patio heater, you are requested to pay
close attention to these essential safety requirements.

· This is a propane, direct-fired heater. This means that all of the combustion
products enter the heated space. Even though this heater operates very
close to 100 percent combustion efficiency, it still produces small
amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic and can
build up in a heated space. Failure to provide adequate ventilation could
result in death.

Always be sure there is plenty of fresh air when the heater is in use.
Always follow advice about ventilation in these operating instructions. If
gas odor is detected at any time, shut off the appliance immediately, and
find and correct the leak. Please set up the propane supply with utmost
care.
