SAFETY
INFORMATION
DANGER: Carbon monoxide
poisoning may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, the fireplace insert may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
fireplace insert serviced. 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 influ-
ence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Natural Gas: Natural gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to the gas. The
odor helps you detect a gas leak. However,
the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may
be present even though no odor exists.

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
