CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
Carbon Monoxide is a possible danger when using any gas powered appliance.
All gas appliances MUST be installed by a licensed professional who is familiar with
the Carbon Monoxide levels appropriate for each appliance.
The American Gas Association publishes CO emissions for appliances and heating
equipment through the ANSI Std. Z21.1
The EPA reports that a maximum CO (Carbon Monoxide) level of 9 PPM over a 24
hour period is the residential interior ambient level standard.
(A properly ventilated home will have a normal CO level of less than 5 PPM.)
NON-VENTED GAS COOKING APPLIANCES:
Non-vented gas cooking appliances in a residential application are normally used
for a short period of time. The CO generated during the operation will disperse to
the air in the home and be purged to the outside through the normal air exchange.
