IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This replace is a vented product. This replace must be prop-
erly installed by a qualied service person. The glass door
must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not properly
installed by a qualied service person with glass door properly
seated and sealed, combustion leakage can occur.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the
replace may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have the replace inspected and serviced by a quali-
ed service person. 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 inuence
of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases
can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP supply
tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance problems, do not
use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 gal. capacity.
3. If you smell gas
• shut off gas supply.
• do not try to light any appliance.
• do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building .
