CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:

heart or lung disease or anemia, those 

under the influence of alcohol, and those 

at high altitudes.

To assist in detecting leaks, an odorant 

has been added to natural gas and 

propane. However, this odorant can fade, 

and gas may be present even though no 

odor exists. Make certain you read and 

understand all warnings. Keep this manual
