Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat producing products

 Some people are more affected by

carbon monoxide than others. Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau-
sea. If you have these signs, the heater may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Check for proper ventilation and have heater
serviced.

 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 may fade. Propane gas may
be present even though no odor exists.
