During operation, do not touch burner assembly. The surface of heater’s

emitter can reach temperatures approaching 1600ºF. Do not install or use in or on boats or recreational vehicles. Do not use heater in winds that exceed 10 m.p.h.. Do not leave a lit heater unattended, especially keep children and pets

away from heater at all times. Always use extreme caution when near heater. Alert both children and

adults to the hazards of high temperatures, especially to avoid burns or

clothing catching fire. Do not attempt to move heater when in use. Allow the heater to cool

before moving or storing. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator from the natural gas line

or any gas fitting while the heater is in use. Always place your heater on a hard, level surface. Use extreme caution on wooden decks. Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces. Keep all electrical cords away from a hot heater. Do not use heater for indoor cooking or heating. TOXIC fumes can

accumulate and cause asphyxiation. Keep sprinklers and other water sources away from burner and

controls. Do not hang clothing or other flammable materials either on or near

heater. Always allow heater to cool before attempting service. Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the heater

must be replaced prior to operating the heater. Certain materials or items, when stored under heater, will be subjected

to radiant heat and could be seriously damaged. After a period of storage and/or nonuse, check for leaks, burner

obstructions and inspect for any abrasion, wear, cuts to the hose. If at any time you are unable to light burner and smell gas, wait 5

minutes to allow gas to dissipate before attempting to light heater. Failure to not wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the heater does

not light, may result in an explosive flame-up. Be careful when attempting to manually ignite this heater. Holding in

the control knob for more than 10 seconds before igniting the gas will

cause a ball of flame upon ignition. Avoid inhaling fumes emitted from the heater’s first use. Smoke and

odor from the burning of oils used in manufacturing will appear. Both

smoke and odor will dissipate after approximately 30 minutes. The

heater should NOT produce thick black smoke. If heater is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the natural gas

main valve. Do not use this appliance without reading “Operating Instructions” in

this manual. Please use protective gloves when assembling this product. Do not force parts together as this can result in personal injury or
