FUEL REQUIREMENTS:

Connect regulator/hose with standard 20-pound LP cylinder coupler.

Call the LP gas supplier to inspect the cylinder. Do not use a damaged LP gas cylinder.

OPERATING HEATER

This heater is designed for use with LP gas. You may light the heater directly.

LP gas is heavier than air. If it leaks from joint, it may sink down to the floor and mix with ambient air to form a detonable mixture. If you have questions, contact your LP dealer for instructions or service.

Warning: Fire, burn, inhalation and explosion hazard. Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard, at safe clearances from the heater. Never use heater in the vicinity of gasoline, solvent, paint thinner or other combustibles.

Caution: When heater runs in the presence of other people, the user is responsible to properly offer those present safety precautions and hazard information.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Follow adaptable lighting instructions. Apply soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak. Do not use a match or an open flame to detect leak. Light heater after ensuring that no gas leak exists.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1.The Lp-gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinder of the U.S. Department of transportation.

2.Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a wellventilated area out of the reach of children. Disconnected cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
