INFORMATION

 

 

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before

 

 

 

 

trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper use of this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heater can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion,

 

 

 

 

 

electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DANGER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

 

 

 

 

 

resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the

 

 

 

 

 

heater may not be operating or venting properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater

 

 

 

 

 

or heater venting system serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon

 

 

 

 

 

monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung

 

 

 

 

 

disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

 

 

 

 

 

Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane

 

 

 

 

 

gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the odor added to

 

 

 

 

 

propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for reference.

 

 

 

 

 

It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. A qualified service person must install heater and venting system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Use only propane gas. Do not convert heater to use different fuel type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Do not place propane supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane supply

 

 

 

 

 

tank(s) outdoors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. If you smell gas

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Shut off gas supply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Do not try to light any appliance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas

 

 

 

 

 

supplier’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If not, poor fuel combustion

 

 

 

 

 

and improper venting of flue gases will result. Carbon monoxide poisoning from

 

 

 

 

 

backed-up flue gases could occur. The State of California lists carbon monoxide

 

 

 

 

 

as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65. Read the instructions under Air for

 

 

 

 

 

Combustion and Ventilation, pages 17 through 20 for complete information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Never install the heater

 

 

 

 

 

 

• in a mobile home or a recreational vehicle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 48

 

 

 

 

 

 

inches from the front, 53 inches from top, or 12 inches from right side and 6

 

 

 

 

 

 

inches from left side and back of heater.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood

 

 

 

 

 

flooring. Place heater on metal or wood panel extending the full width and

 

 

 

 

 

depth of heater.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• as a fireplace insert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• in high traffic areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• in windy or drafty areas.
