CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to
the flu with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you
have these signs, the stove may not have been installed
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have the stove inspected
and serviced by a qualified service person. 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. Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both
odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of these
gases. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the
odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present
even though no odor exists. Make certain you read and
understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to the safe and proper operation of this stove.
