CALDERA CORTEN Electronic Ignition | Installation & Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION

 WARNINGS:

IMPORTANT: This appliance should 

be inspected before use and at least 

once annually by a qualified service 

person.

More frequent cleaning may be 

required as necessary. It is imperative 

that the control compartment, 

burners and circulating air 

passageways of the appliance be 

kept clean.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide 

poisoning can lead to death!

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:

Early signs of carbon monoxide 

poisoning resemble the flu, with 

symptoms including headache, dizziness, 

or nausea. If you experience these 

signs, the Fire Pit may not be working 

properly. Get fresh air at once! Have the 

Fire Pit serviced. Some people are more 

affected by carbon monoxide than others, 

including pregnant women, people with 

heart or lung disease or anemia, those 

under the influence of alcohol, and those 

at high altitudes.

NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE: 

To assist in detecting leaks, an odorant 

has been added to natural gas and 

propane. However, this odorant can fade, 

and 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 appliance.
