• Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death; early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the fl u, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced. Some people; pregnant women, persons with heart
or lung disease, anemia, those under the infl uence of alcohol, those at high altitudes are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
• As with any combustion appliance, we recommend having your appliance regularly inspected and
serviced as well as having a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same area to defend you and
your family against Carbon Monoxide.(Not applicable for outdoor appliances).
