WARNINGS
WARNING: This product contains and/or generates
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
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 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, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,
those under the influence 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.
