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 pufng (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 ofcials about restrictions, permits and installation
