G 001

 WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s
Manual carefully and completely
before trying to assemble, operate,
or service this appliance. Improper
use of this appliance can cause
serious injury or death from burns,
fire, explosion, electrical shock, and
carbon monoxide poisoning.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early

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

Propane/LP and Natural Gas: 

Propane/

LP and Natural gas are odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to both gases. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However,
the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.

Warnings. Keep this manual for reference.
It is your guide to safe and proper operation
of this appliance.

servicing. Only a qualified service per-
son should service and repair CO2
generator.

15. Operating appliance above elevations

of 4,500 feet could cause pilot outage.
