fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. If you start
to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, shut it off and get
to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce therisk of carbonmonoxide gas fromaccumulating and potentiallybeing

alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
