Propane is heavier than air. If propane leaks from a
connection or fitting, it sinks to the floor, collecting there
with the surrounding air, forming a potentially explosive
mixture. Obviously, propane leaks should be avoided,
so set up the propane supply with utmost care. Leak
check new connections or reconnections with a soap
and water solution and follow all connection instructions
herein. Also ask your propane dealer for advice on the
propane supply installation and ask him to check it if
there are any questions.
Direct-fired means that all of the combustion products
from burning propane enter the heated space. Even
though this heater operates very close to 100 percent
combustion efficiency, it still produces small amounts of
carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide (called CO) is
toxic.
CO can build up in a heated space and failure to
provide adequate ventilation could result in death. The
symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
headache
dizziness
burning eyes and nose
nausea
dry mouth or sore throat
So, be sure to follow advice about VENTILATION in
these operating instructions.
WARNING: Do not look over top of heater
(reflector) during ignition.
This heater may produce a small puff of
flame during ignition, which could result
in serious bodily injury.
