GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
SAFETY
: Accidents are always tragic especially because so many of them could
have been prevented with a little care and judgment. There are some basic good
practices we hope you will follow for safe use of your gas-fired room heater.
IMPORTANT
: Read this user's manual carefully and completely before
trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper use of this heater
can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock,
and 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.
Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation
instructions provided with this product. Have your heater installed by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is
located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the heater. If you smell gas,
your installer has not done a proper job of checking leaks. If the connections are not
perfectly seated or tightened, you may have a leak and therefore a faint gas smell.
Finding a leak is not a DO-IT-YOURSELF procedure. Some leaks can only be
found with the main burner gas on and this must be done by a qualified technician.
