DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea.
If you have these signs, the heater may not
be working properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Check for proper ventilation and have heater
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.
Propane/LP Gas:
Propane/LP gas is odorless.
An odor-making agent is added to propane/LP
gas. The odor helps you detect a propane/LP
gas leak. However, the odor added to propane/
LP gas can fade. Propane 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 heater.
