Superior Fireplaces DRL4543TEN Installation And Operation Instruction Manual page 6

This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (certified or licensed)
service person. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer
pipe and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If
the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated,
connected and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage (spillage) can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-
ing resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have
these signs, the fireplace may not be working properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have fireplace 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.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas: Natural and propane/LP gas are odor-
less. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you
detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
