Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Some people are
more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble the flu, with headaches, dizziness and/or
nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not
be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Check
for proper ventilation and have heater serviced.
Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to propane gas. The odor
helps you detect a propane gas leak. However, the
odor added to propane gas may fade. Propane gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
