SAFETy INFORMATION
Continued
This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (cer
-
tified or licensed) service person. It has a sealed
gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe
(pipe within a pipe and having the same center)
venting system. It brings in fresh air for combus
-
tion through the outer pipe and combustion gases
are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass
door assembly and venting pipe are not properly
seated, connected, and sealed, carbon monoxide
leakage (spillage) can occur.
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 have been installed
properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace
inspected and serviced by a qualified service
person. 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.
Propane/LP and Natural Gas:
Propane/LP and
natural 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.
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.
