DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you
have these signs, the fireplace may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
fireplace serviced. Some people are more af
-
fected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or
lung disease or anemia, those under the influ
-
ence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
Natural and
propane/LP gases are 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.
