SAFETY INFORMATION

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Early signs of carbon monoxide 

poisoning resemble the fl u, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If 
you have these signs, the log set may not be working properly. 

Get 

fresh air at once

! Have log set serviced. Some people are more 

affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant 
women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under 
the infl uence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Natural Gas

: Natural gas is odorless. An odor-making agent is 

added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, 
the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though 
no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for 
reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this log set.
