• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Never store propane near high heat, open flames,
pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or

places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane tank while catalytic
heater is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition
sources or while catalytic heater is hot to touch.
• During operation, this product can be a source of
ignition. Never use the catalytic heater in spaces that
contain or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles,
or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner,
dust particles or unknown chemicals. Minimum

DANGER
WARNING
We cannot foresee every use which may be made
of our products.
Check with your local fire safety authority if
you have questions about use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and
heat producing products for specific uses.Your local
authorities can advise you about these.
• Never refill disposable cylinders.
• Use the preset regulator that came with the
catalytic heater. Do not attempt to adjust.
WARNING
• 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 of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only
propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Propane gas should be stored or used in
compliance with local ordinances and codes or with
ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65:

• BURN HAZARD
• Never leave catalytic heater unattended when

WARNING
• SERVICE SAFETY
• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Inspect
