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.
