WARNINGS
•Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency or your gas supplier.
•Operation of this appliance when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
•Carbon monoxide poisoning – early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get fresh air at once! Have the heater inspected by a qualified service technician. 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.

Flame Color and Behavior
Your Vintage™ gas stove is designed for maximum heating efficiency. Therefore, upon lighting of the main burner the flames will be semi- transparent or “bluish.” After
Adjusting the stove to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may result in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See Figure 31 showing proper flame appearance.
When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback. Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main burner operation at both high and low flame.
