1.
Gas and Combustion Products
Warning
Any condition that will allow gas or combustion
products to enter unit area can cause nausea, asphyxia-
tion or fire resulting in damage, injury
or death.
Natural gas and propane (LP) gas have characteris-
tic odors. When your unit is operating correctly, you
should not smell any unfamiliar odor. Normally,
burning gas with air produces combustion products
which contain carbon dioxide, oxygen and water
vapor.
Aldehydes have a strong pungent, acrid smell that
can cause nausea.
Carbon monoxide is tasteless, colorless and odor-
less. It can cause headaches, flu-like symptoms or
nausea. We refer to all these symptoms as nausea in
this manual. It can also cause death by asphyxiation.
Warning
Any unfamiliar smell can alert you to presence
of gas or aldehydes. If you detect any unfamiliar
odor call service technician.
Warning
Do not block or cover combustion openings in the
unit door. Blocking or covering these openings
could cause nausea, asphyxiation or fire resulting
in damage, injury or death.
Warning
A loud noise may mean faulty burner ignition. If
your unit makes a loud noise, turn it off. If you
don’t turn your unit off, it could cause fire or an
explosion, resulting in damage, injury or death.
