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 headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the
insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at
