Carbon  Monoxide  Poisoning:

  Early  signs 

of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the 
flu, 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 oth

-

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