IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a propane heater
indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Propane heater exhaust contains high levels of
carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you
cannot see or smell. If you can smell the propane
heater exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even
if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be
breathing CO.
 N ever use a propane heater inside homes,
garages, crawlspaces, recreational vehicles,
or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.
Using a fan or opening windows and doors does
NOT supply enough fresh air.
 O NLY use a propane heater outdoors and far
away from open windows, doors, and vents.
These openings can pull in propane heater
exhaust.
Propane cylinder must be located outdoors during
operation except during construction or renovation
of buildings not occupied by the public.
Even when you use a propane heater correctly, CO
may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-
powered or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or experience
a headache after the propane heater has been run-
ning, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.
You could have carbon monoxide poisoning. Do
not sleep while propane heater is operating.
DANGER:
If you smell propane gas, shut off propane to the
heater at the propane cylinder. If odor continues,
keep away from the heater and immediately call
your propane gas supplier or your fire department.
