WARNINGS
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, 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, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may
not be working properly. Get fresh air at

a propane/LP gas leak. However, the odor
added to propane/LP gas can fade. Propane/
LP gas may be present even though no odor
exists.
