or other reproductive harm.
Important:

before trying to assemble, operate or service this fireplace.
Improper use of this fireplace can cause serious injury or death

This fireplace is a vented product and will not produce any
gas leakage into your home if properly installed by a qualified
service person. If this unit is not properly installed by a qualified
service person, gas leakage may occur.
Propane (LP) gas and natural gas (NG) are both colorless and
odorless gases. An odor-making agent is added to each of these
gases to help you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade and gas may be present even though no
odor exists.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu symptoms, including headaches,
dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs the fireplace may
not have been installed properly, get fresh air at once! Have the
fireplace inspected and serviced by a qualified service person
or your gas supplier. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people
with heart or lung diseases or anemia, people at high altitude
or under the influence of alcohol. Earthcore Industries, LLC
strongly recommends the use of a carbon monoxide detector/
alarm device wherever gas fired appliances are in use.
