complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a ten (10) foot
(3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do not use on or under balconies.
W This outdoor fireplace is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The
conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in this outdoor fireplace
is dangerous and will void your warranty.

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become
aware of the characteristics before using any LP gas product.

pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is
added that smells like rotten cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.
W LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked "propane" may be
used.
a. The LP gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LP gas tanks of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, LP gas tanks, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.

relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking
propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or
death.
h. Never keep a filled LP gas tank in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will
cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve
and allow gas to escape.

use. Only install the type of dust cap on the LP gas tank valve outlet
that is provided with the LP gas tank valve. Other types of caps or
