SAFETY
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!
This fireplace must be installed by the O.E.M. builder or by a qualified (certified 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 combustion 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 be work
-
ing properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace 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.
Propane/LP & Natural Gas
:
Propane/LP and natural 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.
