Safety Information
Read and understand this Instruction Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this
boiler.
Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane
gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of
producing carbon monoxide (CO). CO is a gas,
which is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is
very toxic.
If your HearthStone Hydronics boiler is not
working properly, or is not vented properly,
dangerous levels of CO may accumulate. CO is
lighter than air and thus may travel throughout
the building.
•WARNING: Brief exposure to high
concentrations of CO, or prolonged
exposure to lesser amounts of CO may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure can be fatal and exposure to
high concentrations may result in sudden
onset of symptoms including
unconsciousness.
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often
confused with those of influenza, and the
highest incidence of poisoning occurs at the
onset of cold weather or during flu season. A
victim may not experience any symptoms, only
one symptom, or a few symptoms. Suspect the
presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend
to disappear when you leave your home.
The following signs may indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide:
•Hot gases from appliance, venting system,
pipes or chimney, escaping into the living
space.
•Flames coming out around the appliance.
•Yellow colored flames in the appliance.
•Stale or smelly air.
•The presence of soot or carbon in or around
the appliance.
•Very high, unexplained humidity inside the
building.
If any symptoms of CO poisoning occur, or if
any of the signs of carbon monoxide are present,
vacate the premises immediately and contact
a qualified heating service company or the
gas company or the fire department.
To reduce the risk of CO poisoning, have your
heating system “tuned up” by a licensed heating
contractor or the gas company –preferably
before each heating season. Also, have the
service company check your chimney or vent
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the
following: Dizziness, Vision problems,
Shortness of breath, Headache, Nausea, Loss
of muscle control, Unclear thinking,
Weakness, Unconsciousness.
