Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Early

signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble the flu, with headaches, dizziness,
or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater
may not be working properly. Get fresh air
at once!
 Have heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than
others. These include pregnant women, per-
sons with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP Gas:

 Propane/LP gas is odor-

less. An odor-making agent is added to
propane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect
a propane/LP gas leak. However, the odor
added to propane/LP gas can fade. Propane/
LP 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 heater.
