Carbon monoxide
poisoning: Some
people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. Early signs of
carbon monoxide poisoning resemble
the flu, with headaches, dizziness,
and/or nausea. If you have these signs,
the heater may not be operating
properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
heater serviced.
Propane Gas: Propane gas is odorless.
An odor-making agent is added to
propane gas. The odor helps you detect
a propane gas leak. However, the odor
added to propane gas can fade.
Propane gas may be present even
though no odor exists.
