Please take CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY CARE during all holiday and everyday activities.
CAUTION: It is a common practice by many to warm up the kitchen with their gas oven or cookers, often with the door open. These appliances were not designed to be a space heater. The door open on the oven allows substantial oxygen flooding of the combustion zone and may result in the production of dangerous levels of CO.
How much carbon monoxide is produced by this appliance, how long will someone be exposed and what is their current health status? Is there something in personal health history that may reveal a connection between chronic poor air conditions and symptoms? Might there be some discovery waiting for measurement?
All gas ovens should be tested and adjusted to provide desired heat and with minimal carbon monoxide generation. Often these are unvented systems and their combustion gases can quickly spoil indoor air quality. We cannot take any combustion system for granted. They may never have been tested. Periodic testing will reduce the hazardous conditions if corrective actions occur. The use of low level carbon monoxide alarms will alert you to levels before there is an onslaught of substantial illness symptoms. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
