erate this heater with glass doors closed.

less. If logs ever appear to smoke, turn
off heater and call a qualified service
person.

ing residues.

the instructions in Cleaning and Main-
tenance, page 20.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, car-
pet cleaner, or similar products, turn

der residue within burner box or on

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu,
with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, the heater may not be work-
ing properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
heater serviced. Some people are more af-
fected 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.
Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas is odor-
less. 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.
