33. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HAZARD. A build-up of CO
fumes is toxic and can be fatal. Carbon Monoxide is a
colorless, odorless gas produced during combustion
of wood, coal, oil, gas and by other fuel burning
appliances. It is important to have a proper draft
and adequate replacement air ventilation so fumes
are drawn out the chimney. Installed as instructed
this stove is designed to be as safe as possible yet
it is recommended to install a CO detector. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper
installation and use. It is recommended to be placed
at table-top level (not near the ceiling) to avoid false
alarms. Realize that devices other than a stove (i.e.
motor exhaust) can trigger CO alarms. If alarm sounds:
• Recognize the symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches,
nausea & drowsiness).
• Increase ventilation (open windows & doors).
• Make sure stove doors and/or lids are closed and
secured.
• Check stove for smoking or pung (open airow
controls).
• Check chimney & connector pipe for leaks, blockage or
down-draft conditions.
• Check CO device for false alarm.
34. Keep power cords, electrical appliances and/or
assemblies outside of the clearance area shown in
this manual for combustible materials.
35. Consult your municipal building department or re
ocials about restrictions, permits and installation
requirements for your area.
