WARNING

BEFORE LIGHTING [PROPANE (L.P.) GAS WATER HEATERS]: Propane (L.P.) gas is heavier than air. Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle near the ground. Basements or crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accu- mulation of this gas. Before attempting to operate the heater or turning a nearby electrical light switch, be absolutely sure there is no accumulated gas in the area. Search for odor of gas by sniffing at ground level in the vicinity of the appliance. If odor is detected, follow the steps indicated at “For Your Safety” on the cover page of this manual, then leave the premises.

Operating instructions are located on front of the water heater, above or to one side of the gas control valve.
