WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH
When used without fresh air, gas log sets may give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poisonous gas. Some people, pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease, anemia, or
under the influence of alcohol and persons at high altitudes are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu: Headache, dizziness,
and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the gas log may not be installed or working properly, or the
chimney flue may be blocked. GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have gas log set and chimney flue
serviced before
using again.
OPEN A WINDOW AN INCH OR TWO FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR WHEN USING YOUR VENT FREE GAS LOG ROOM HEATER

NOTE:
"Clearances to Combustible Construction" are those distances
required to ensure that a fireplace mantel or facing will not catch fire. In
most cases they should also be adequate to prevent any discoloration or
warping due to heat. However, each and every Gas Log Installation
(CHILLBUSTER included) presents a different and completely unique set
of circumstances involving many variables beyond the control of the Gas
Log Manufacturer. These include paint or finish composition, previous
exposure to heat, methods and quality of construction, air flow patterns,
glass doors, fans or blowers, etc. Because of these variables, we cannot
guarantee that heat warping or discoloration will never occur. The
potential for heat warping or discoloration may exist whether you are
burning a CHILLBUSTER, some other manufacturer's Gas Log or even
wood.
VENT FREE OPERATION
FIREPLACE HOODS
A fireplace hood deflects heat away from the fireplace face and mantel, reducing the potential for heat related warping
or discoloration.
The use of a fireplace hood is highly recommended.
