DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

Early signs of carbon

monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-

aches, 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 pro-

pane/LP gases are odorless. 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.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings.

Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to

safe and proper operation of this fireplace.

this fireplace or its controls can
