It must never be used indoors, in a house, or any other sealed structure. Carbon monoxide is produced during operation and is deadly in a closed environment. Early signs of carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the Propane Lantern may not be working properly or is improperly vented, get fresh air immediately. SKU For technical questions, please call Page 3

4 Risk of Fire and/or Explosion 1. Do not store extra propane tanks in the vicinity of the Propane Lantern or any other appliance If gas is smelled during operation, immediately turn the Valve Control Knob (20) to OFF, and close the valve on the Lantern. Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane/lp gas to enable you to smell the gas if it should leak. Never use the Propane Lantern in camping tents. If the Propane Lantern shuts off during operation, turn the Control Knob to OFF, check the amount of fuel in the tank and wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear before restarting. If it continues to shut off during operation, have it serviced by a qualified technician. 5. Never place the Propane Lantern within 15 feet of flammable objects such as wood, trees, overhangs, and umbrellas. This Propane Lantern also requires a clearance of at least 3 feet from non-flammable materials to allow proper combustion. Risk of Burns, Propane Lantern Gets Very Hot During Use. 1. Do not attempt to move the Propane Lantern while it is in operation. Turn it off and wait onehalf hour until it cools down before moving Do not touch the Propane Lantern while it is lit. Before servicing, wait one-half hour for the Lantern to cool down. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the Propane Lantern. Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the Propane Lantern, or placed on or near the Lantern. Save these instructions. SKU For technical questions, please call Page 4

5 ! IF YOU SMELL GAS 1. NO FLAMES OR SPARKS! Immediately put out all smoking materials and other open flames. Do not operate lights, appliances, telephones, or cell phones. Flames or sparks from these sources can trigger an explosion or a fire. 2. LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY! Get everyone out of the building or area where you suspect gas is leaking. 3. SHUT OFF THE GAS. Turn off the main gas supply valve on your propane tank if it is safe to do so. To close the valve, turn it to the right (clockwise). 4. REPORT THE LEAK. From a neighbor s home or other nearby building away from the gas leak, call your propane retailer right away. If you can t reach your propane retailer, call 911 or your local fire department. 5. DO NOT RETURN TO THE BUILDING OR AREA until your propane retailer, emergency responder, or qualified service technician determines that it is safe to do so. 6. GET YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED. Before you attempt to use any of your propane appliances, your propane retailer or a qualified service technician must check your entire system to ensure that it is leak-free. CAN YOU SMELL IT? Propane smells like rotten eggs, a skunk s spray, or a dead animal. Some people may have difficulty smelling propane due to their age (older people may have a less sensitive sense of smell); a medical condition; or the effects of medication, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. ODOR LOSS. On rare occasions, propane can lose its odor. Several things can cause this including: The presence of air, water, or rust in a propane tank or cylinder The passage of leaking propane through the soil! Important Propane Safety Information for You and Your Family Since there is a possibility of odor loss or problems with your sense of smell, you should respond immediately to even a faint odor of gas. PROPANE GAS DETECTORS Under some circumstances, you may not smell a propane leak. Propane gas detectors sound an alarm if they sense propane in the air. They can provide an additional measure of security. You should consider the purchase of one or more detectors for your home. GUIDELINES regarding propane gas detectors: Buy only units that are listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Follow the manufacturer s instructions regarding installation and maintenance. Never ignore the smell of propane, even if no detector is sounding an alarm. APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS. Only a qualified service technician has the training to install, inspect, service, maintain, and repair your appliances. Have your appliances and propane system inspected just before the start of each heating season. DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY OR REPAIR valves, regulators, connectors, controls, or other appliance and cylinder/tank parts. Doing so creates the risk of a gas leak that can result in property damage, serious injury, or death. CO AND YOUR SAFETY WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)? You can t taste or smell CO, but it is a very dangerous gas. High levels of CO can come from appliances that are not operating correctly, or from a venting system or chimney that becomes blocked. CO CAN BE DEADLY! High levels of CO can make you dizzy or sick. In extreme cases, CO can cause brain damage or death. Symptoms of CO poisoning include: headache, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and nausea. IF YOU SUSPECT CO IS! PRESENT, ACT IMMEDIATELY! 1. If you or a family member shows physical symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the building and call 911 or your local fire department. 2. If it is safe to do so, open windows to allow entry of fresh air, and turn off any appliances you suspect may be releasing CO. 3. If no one has symptoms, but you suspect that CO is present, call your propane retailer or a qualified service technician to check CO levels and your propane equipment. CO DETECTORS CAN IMPROVE SAFETY. For an extra measure of safety, consider installing a CO detector listed by UL on each level of your home. TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF CO POISONING: Have a qualified service technician check your propane appliances and venting systems annually, preferably before the heating season. Install UL-listed CO detectors on every level of your home. Never use a gas oven or range-top burners to provide space heating. Never use portable heaters indoors unless they are designed and approved for indoor use. Never use a barbecue grill (propane or charcoal) indoors for cooking or heating. Regularly check your appliance exhaust vents for blockage. RUNNING OUT OF GAS DON T RUN OUT OF GAS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAzARDS, INCLUDING FIRE OR EXPLOSION, CAN RESULT. If an appliance valve or a gas line is left open, a leak could occur when the system is recharged with propane. If your propane tank runs out of gas, any pilot lights on your appliances will go out. This can be extremely dangerous. A LEAK CHECK IS REQUIRED. In many states, a propane retailer or a qualified service technician must perform a leak check of your propane system before turning on the gas. SKU For technical questions, please call Page 5! LIGhTING PILOT LIGhTS IF A PILOT LIGHT REPEATEDLY GOES OUT or is very difficult to light, there may be a safety problem. DO NOT try to fix the problem yourself. It is strongly recommended that only a QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN light any pilot light that has gone out. YOU ARE TAKING THE RISK of starting a fire or an explosion if you light a pilot light yourself. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer s instructions and warnings concerning the appliance before attempting to light the pilot.
