IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE HEATER.
WARNING
(1) Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance to protect an LP-cylinder not connected for use.
(2) Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property dam-
age, injury, or death. Read the installation, operation, and maintenance instructions thoroughly
before installing or servicing this equipment.
(3) We cannot foresee every use which can be made of our 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, if ANS Z223. 1. In Can-
ada, installation must conform to local codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current Na-
tional standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2
(4) Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property dam-
age, injury, or death. Read the installation, operation, and maintenance instructions thoroughly.
(5) Burn Hazard: never leave heater unattended when hot or in use; keep out of reach of children
(6) Anything stored under the heater will be subjected to radiant heat and possibly damaged.
(7) Items under the heater will be subjected to radiant heat and could be seriously damaged.
(8) SERVICE SAFETY: Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure propane cylinder
valve outlet is clean. Never use a flame. Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any
way or use with any device.
(9) 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.
(10) 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.
(11) Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA
58. Turn off propane when not in use.
(12) Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface temperatures. Stay away from these
surfaces to avoid burning skin or igniting clothing.
(13) Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity of the heater. Do not hang clothing or
any other flammable materials from the heater or place on or near the heater.
(14) Replace any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance before using
(15) Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be in-
spected before use and annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required as necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and circulating
air passageway of the appliance be kept clean.
(16) Heater will be hot after use. Handle with extreme care and do NOT touch or move heater or
reflector for at least 45 minutes after use.
(17) 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.
