General Safety Information (Continued)

Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead

to death! Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be operating properly, or the areas may not be sufficiently ventilated. Get fresh air at once! Have heater serviced.

Natural Gas: Natural gas has a distinc- tive odor. This odor helps you detect a natural gas leak. However, the odor may fade. Natural gas may be present even though no odor exists.
