California Residents:
Combustion by-products
produced when using this product contain carbon monoxide,
a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer
and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
This is a direct-fired heater. Direct-fired means that all of
the combustion products enter the heated space. This
heater is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but still
produces small amounts of carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate small
amounts of carbon monoxide, and caution should be taken
to provide adequate ventilation. Failure to provide ade-
quate in accordance with this manual could result in
death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the flu. The symptoms of inadequate ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
If the heater is being used in the presence of others, be
sure to inform them of the proper safety precautions,
operating procedures and the hazards involved.Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These are pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol or
at high altitudes.
