NATURAL GAS VENT-FREE FIREPLACE SYSTEM
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
SAFETY
INFORMATION
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the fireplace may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace 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.
Natural Gas:
Natural gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to natural gas.
The odor helps you detect a natural gas leak.
However, the odor added to natural gas can
fade. Natural gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
