FOR YOUR SAFETY: READ BEFORE LIGHTING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing personal injury, loss of life
and property damage.
Since propane gas is heavier than air, escaping propane will accumulate and remain at ground level. Do not
attempt to light the heater. If you suspect a propane leak, lighting the heater can result in a fire or explosion
which can cause personal injury, death, and property damage.
A. This heater is equipped with a pilot which must be
lighted manually. When lighting the pilot, follow
these instructions exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the heater

some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
