WARNING ICON G 001
Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is added to propane
gas. The odor helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the odor added to
propane gas can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference.
