WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, oper- ate, or service this fireplace. Im- proper use of this fireplace can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re- semble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the fire- place may not be working properly.

These include preg- nant women, people with heart or lung dis- ease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
