CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH.

Some people - pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease, anemia, or persons under the influence of
alcohol, and persons at high altitudes are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu - headache, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these
signs, the heater may not be installed or working properly. GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have the heater serviced
before using it again.
