IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a propane heater indoors CAN
KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Propane heater exhaust contains high levels of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell.
If you can smell the propane heater exhaust, you are
breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust,
you could be breathing CO.
 N ever use a propane heater inside homes, garages,
crawlspaces, recreational vehicles, or other partly
enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide
can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening
windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh
air.
 O NLY use a propane heater outdoors and far away
from open windows, doors, and vents. These open-
ings can pull in propane heater exhaust.
Propane cylinder must be located outdoors during opera-
tion except during construction or renovation of buildings
not occupied by the public.
Even when you use a propane heater correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or
battery-backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or experience a head-
ache after the propane heater has been running, move
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You could have
carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not sleep while propane
heater is operating.
DANGER:
If you smell propane gas, shut off propane to the heater
at the propane cylinder. If odor continues, keep away
from the heater and immediately call your propane gas
supplier or your fire department.
