IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s

burner system. Improper use of

this stove and burner system can

cause serious injury or death

from burns, fire, explosions,

electrical shock, and carbon

monoxide poisoning.

 WARNING: Any change to

this stove or burner system or its

controls can be dangerous.

 WARNINGS

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide

poisoning may lead to death!

This stove with burner system is a vented

product.  If this unit is not properly installed by

a qualified service person with glass door

properly seated and sealed, gas combustion

products can spill into your home.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early signs

of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the

flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If

you have these signs, the burner system may

not have been installed properly. Get fresh

air at once! Have stove with burner system

inspected and serviced by a qualified service

person. 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/LP gas and natural gas are both

odorless. An odor-making agent is added to

each of these gases. The odor helps you

detect a gas leak. However, the odor added

to these gases can fade. Gas may be present

even though no odor exists.

warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It

is your guide to safe and proper operation of
