CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
This heating system can produce dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) gas when using the LPG operation if it is not
installed and used properly.
To help avoid the risk of asphyxiation, only use the LPG operation on the heating system outdoors to help dissipate
the exhaust gases.
Never use in enclosed spaces or breathe in the exhaust gases.
Make sure that the exhaust gas outlet is placed outside, e.g. never under the recreational vehicle’s awning.
• Do not use the heating system without adequate ventilation.
• Keep the air inlet and exhaust gas outlet unobstructed.
When cleaning the vehicle, never spray water into the heating, e.g. if using a high-pressure cleaner, do not spray
directly into the heating’s exhaust gas outlet.
