located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard
of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material on
or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the
heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented
gas heater should be cleaned before use and at least
annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to exces-
sive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is
imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways be kept clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at
once! Have the insert inspected and serviced by a qualified 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
influence 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.
