 NOTE: When burning any unit or appliance that combusts fuel for heat, such as
coal, oil, wood or natural and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas. We highly recommend
the use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have burner 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.
