Propane Supply / Information: Propane (LP)
This heater is not supplied with a propane cylinder. Use only an approved propane cylinder.
LP Characteristics
– Flammable, explosive under pressure, heavier than air and pools in low areas.
– In its natural state, propane has no odor, but for your safety an odor that smells like rotten cabbage has been added.
– Contact of propane (LP) gas with the skin can cause freeze burns.
– Heater is manufactured for use with propane gas only. DO NOT attempt to convert to any other gas. Such modifications
are dangerous and will void the warranty.
