ODOR FADE WARNING
WARNING
heater dataplate, or contact the Scheu Products Company to
determine combustion air ventilation requirements of the
heater.
• Lack of proper ventilation air will lead to improper
combustion.
• Improper combustion can lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning leading to serious injury or death. Symptom of
carbon monoxide poisoning can include headaches
dizziness and difficulty in breathing.
AsphyxiationHazard
• Do not use this heater for heating human living quarters.
• Do not use in unventilated areas.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
• Proper ventilation air must be provided to support the
combustion air requirements of the heater being used.
• Refer to the specification section of the heater’s manual,
FUELGASODOR
LP gas and natural gas have man-made odorants added specifically for detection of fuel gas leaks.
If a gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since Propane (LP) is heavier than air you should smell for the gas
odorlowtothefloor.ANYGASODORISYOURSIGNALTOGOINTOIMMEDIATEACTION!
• Do not take any action that could ignite the fuel gas. Do not
operate any electrical switches. Do not pull any power
supply or extension cords. Do not light matches or any other
source of flame. Do not use your telephone.
• Get everyone out of the building and away from the area
immediately.
• Close all propane (LP) gas tank or cylinder fuel supply
valves, or the main fuel supply valve located at the meter if
you use natural gas.
areas. When you have reason to suspect a propane leak,
keep out of all low areas.
• Use your neighbor’s phone and call your fuel gas supplier
and your fire department. Do not re-enter the building or
area.
• Stay out of the building and away from the area until
declared safe by the firefighters and your fuel gas supplier.
• FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person and the firefighters
check for escaped gas. Have them air out the building and
area before you return. Properly trained service people must
repair any leaks, check for further leakages, and then relight
the appliance for you.
• Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air and may settle in low
ODORFADING-NOODORDETECTED
• The odorant in propane (LP) gas and natural gas is
colorless and the intensity of its odor can fade under
some circumstances.
• If there is an underground leak, the movement of gas
through the soil can filter the odorant.
• Propane (LP) gas odor may differ in intensity at different
levels. Since Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air, there
may be more odor at lower levels.
• Some people cannot smell well. Some people cannot smell
the odor of the man-made chemical added to propane (LP)
or natural gas. You must determine if you can smell the
odorant in these fuel gases.
• Learn to recognize the odor of propane (LP) gas and natural
gas. Local propane (LP) gas dealers will be more than
happy to give you a scratch and sniff pamphlet. Use it to
become familiar with the fuel gas odor.
• Always be sensitive to the slightest gas odor. If you
continue to detect any gas odor, no matter how small, treat it
as a serious leak. Immediately go into action as discussed
previously.
• Smoking can decrease your ability to smell. Being around
an odor for a period of time can affect your sensitivity to that
particular odor. Odors present in animal confinement
buildings can mask fuel gas odor.
ATTENTION-CRITICALPOINTSTOREMEMBER!
• Propane (LP) gas has a distinctive odor. Learn to recognize
these odors. (Reference Fuel Gas Odor and Odor Fading
sections above.
• Even If you are not property trained in the service and repair
of the heater, ALWAYS be consciously aware of the odors of
propane (LP) gas and natural gas.
• A periodic sniff test around the heater or at the heater’s
joints; i.e. hose, connections, etc., is a good safety practice
under any conditions. If you smell even a small amount of
gas, CONTACT YOUR FUEL GAS SUPPLIER IMMEDIATELY.
DONOTWAIT!
• If you have not been properly trained in repair and service of
propane (LP) gas then do not attempt to light heater,
perform service or repairs, or make any adjustments to the
heater on the propane (LP) gas fuel system.
