MINIMAX® CH (150 IID) ELECTRONIC IGNITION LIGHTING/OPERATION - PROPANE

FOR YOUR SAFETY: READ BEFORE LIGHTING

NOTE

The MiniMax® CH propane models have special features for additional safety and protection. Read the safety instructions for natural gas (page A-2) before proceeding.

WARNING

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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

-Do not try to light matches or lighter.

-Do not try to light any heater.

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

-Shut off gas line at propane tank.

Safety Lockout:

-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.

-Do not tamper with the heater because it is dangerous and voids all warranties.
