Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the u, with
headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these
signs, the appliance may not be working properly.

Some people are more affected by carbon monox-
ide than others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those
under the inuence of alcohol, and those at high

odorless. An odor-making agent is added to fuel

leak. However, the odor added to fuel gas can
fade. Fuel 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 appliance.
