SAFETY
INFORMATION
100354
IMPORTANT: Read this owner's manual carefully and completely be-
fore trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper use of
this heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion,
electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the
heater may not be operating or venting properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
or heater venting system serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane
gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the odor added to
propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for reference.
It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
1. A qualified service person must install heater and venting system.
2. Use only propane gas. Do not convert heater to use different fuel type.
