DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some peo-
ple are more affected by carbon monoxide
than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, the heater may not be working prop-
erly. Get fresh air at once! Check for proper
ventilation and have heater serviced.
Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to propane gas.
The odor helps you detect a propane gas
leak. However, the odor added to propane
gas may fade. Propane gas may be present
even though no odor exists.

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
