SAFETY
DANGER! CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.
• This heater is a combustion appliance. All
combustion appliances produce carbon
monoxide (CO) during the combustion
process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts
of CO if used and maintained in accordance
with all warnings and instructions. Do not
block air flow into or out of the heater.
• Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning produces
flu-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can't
see it and you can't smell it. It's an invisible killer.
If these symptoms are present during operation
of this product, get fresh air immediately!
• For outdoor use only. Never use inside house,
or other unventilated or enclosed areas.
• This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use
in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.
DANGER! EXPLOSION/FIRE HAZARD.
• Never store propane near high heat, open
flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition
sources or where temperatures exceed 120°F.
• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can
accumulate in low places. If you smell gas,
leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove propane cylinder while
heater is lit, near flame, pilot lights, other
ignition sources or while heater is hot to touch.
• This heater is red hot during use and can
ignite flammables too close to the burner.
Keep flammables at least three feet from
sides and two feet from top. Keep gasoline
and other flammable liquids and vapors well
away from heater.
• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in
a well ventilated space out of reach of
children. Never store the propane cylinder
in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If
heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the
propane cylinder for outdoor storage.
WARNING! Every use that may be made of
heaters cannot be foreseen. Check with your
local fire safety authority if you have questions

use of fuel gases and heat-producing products
for specific uses. Your local authorities can
advise you about these.
If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas
Code, ANS Z223.1. In Canada, installation
