1.3. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1.3.1. CARBON MONOXIDE

An installation that does not comply with the recommendations described in this manual can lead to carbon
monoxide emissions. As a safety measure, we strongly recommend for a carbon monoxide detector to be
installed near the unit.
Signs of a carbon monoxide poisoning (headaches, dizziness and nausea) are similar to those of influenza.
If you have these symptoms, your fireplace may not have been installed correctly. Turn off the gas fireplace
and go outside immediately for some fresh air! Have the fireplace inspected by a qualified technician.

1.3.2. GAS ODOR

Propane gas/LPG and natural gas are odorless. An odorant (usually sulfur) is added to each one of these
gases which makes them smell similar to rotten eggs. This will help you easily detect any eventual leak.
However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be leaking without releasing any smell. We
therefore strongly recommend that a gas detector be installed near the unit.
