Danger: This heater, as any gas-
fired appliance, can produce
poisonous carbon monoxide
along with other combustion
products. Carbon monoxide, in
strong concentrations, can
cause sickness, serious
personal injury and death.
Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with
headache, dizziness and/or
nausea. If you have these signs,
the heater may not be working
properly. Get fresh air at once!
Immediately have heater
serviced by a qualified
technician.
Some people (pregnant
women, persons with heart or
lung disease, anemia, those
under the influence of alcohol,
those at high altitudes) are
more affected by carbon
monoxide than others.
Danger: Operation of this heater
on gases for which it is not
equipped may lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Warning: This heater cannot be
converted to a gas other than the
type for which it was equipped
at the factory.
Warning: Any change to this
heater or its controls can be
dangerous.
