SAFETY INFORMATION DANGER DANGER • CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD • This fire feature is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warnings and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the fire feature.
SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING WARNING • This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible and flammable. An odorant is normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone. • Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will settle to the lowest level possible.
