CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A buildup of CO
fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide is a
colorless, odorless gas produced during combustion
of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning
appliances. It is important to have a proper draft
and adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes
are drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed
this stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet
it is recommended to install a CO detector. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper
installation and use. It is recommended to be
placed at table-top level (not near the ceiling) to
avoid false alarms. Realize that devices other than
a stove (i.e. motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms.
•
If alarm sounds:
•
Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning
(headaches, nausea & drowsiness).
•
Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
•
Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and
secured.
•
Check stove for smoking or puffing (open airflow
controls).
•
Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks,
blockage or down-draft conditions.
•
Check CO device for false alarm.
