MAKE SURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS PROVIDED. Provide a fresh
outside air opening at least three (3) square feet (0.3 m 2 ) or its equivalent, i.e., 1' x 3' (0.3 m
x 0.9 m) for each heating unit. DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN LIVING QUARTERS
OR WHILE SLEEPING! California lists carbon monoxide as a reproductive toxin under
Proposition 65.
PROPANE GAS:
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 be ignited 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 and used in compliance with local ordinances and
codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off propane when not in use.
FIRE/EXPLOSION:
During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Keep heater area clear
and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Do not use heater in areas with high dust content.
MINIMUM HEATER CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS: TWO
(2) FEET (0.6 M) FROM SIDES AND REAR, FOUR (4) FEET (1.2 M) FROM TOP,
AND SIX (6) FEET (1.8) FROM THE OUTLET. Keep heater at least six (6) feet (1.8 m)
away from propane tanks and keep propane hoses away from outlet opening of the heater.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION:
• Never alter or modify heater, propane hose/regulator assembly or propane cylinders.
Do not attach duct work of any kind to this heater.

(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
• Use only a three-prong, grounded extension cord.
• Make sure heater is plugged into outlet before igniting heater.
• Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
