Desa GVR35PA Safety, Information, Danger, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning

SAFETY
		WARNING ICONG 001WARNINGS
INFORMATION	IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before
	trying to assemble, operate, or service this heater. Improper use of this
	heater 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
	resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the
	heater may not be operating or venting properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater
	or heater venting system serviced. 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 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 can fade. Propane gas may be present even though no odor exists.
	Make certain you read and understand all Warnings. Keep this manual for reference.
	It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this heater.
	1. A qualified service person must install heater and venting system.
	2. Use only propane gas. Do not convert heater to use different fuel type.
	3. Do not place propane supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane supply
	tank(s) outdoors.
	4. If you smell gas
	• Shut off gas supply.
	• Do not try to light any appliance.
	• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
	• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
	supplier’s instructions.
	• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
	5. This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If not, poor fuel combustion
	and improper venting of flue gases will result. Carbon monoxide poisoning from
	backed-up flue gases could occur. The State of California lists carbon monoxide
	as a reproductive toxin under Proposition 65. Read the instructions under Air for
	Combustion and Ventilation, pages 17 through 20 for complete information.
	6. Never install the heater
	• in a mobile home or a recreational vehicle.
	• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 48
	inches from the front, 53 inches from top, or 12 inches from right side and 6
	inches from left side and back of heater.
	• directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood
	flooring. Place heater on metal or wood panel extending the full width and
	depth of heater.
	• as a fireplace insert.
