CARBON MONOXIDE

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR, THIS
STOVE MAY GIVE OFF EXCESSIVE CARBON
MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS, POISONOUS
GAS.
WARNING:
EARLY SIGNS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING RESEMBLE THE FLU, WITH
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS AND/OR NAUSEA. IF
YOU HAVE THESE SIGNS, STOVE MAY NOT
BE WORKING PROPERLY. GET FRESH AIR AT
ONCE! HAVE STOVE SERVICED.
SOME PEOPLE - PREGNANT WOMEN,
PERSONS WITH HEART OR LUNG DISEASE,
ANEMIA, THOSE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL, THOSE AT HIGH ALTITUDES - ARE
MORE AFFECTED BY CARBON MONOXIDE
THAN OTHERS.
Regardless of how safe this stove is, every fuel burning
appliance creates Carbon Monoxide. It is always a
good plan to reduce risk to you and your loved ones
as much as possible by installing a Carbon Monoxide
detector. It is recommended to install monitors in
areas that are expected to generate carbon monoxide
such as heater fueling areas, pellet fuel bulk storage
areas, or sheds containing hydronic heaters. Follow
the installation, operation, & maintenance instructions
provided by the manufacturer of your detector.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Have at least 1 smoke detector on each floor of
your building. Follow the installation, operation, &
maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer
of your detector. Avoid false alarms by placing the
detector outside the immediate vicinity of the stove.
Typically a good installation location for smoke
detectors is near bedrooms.
