Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
1) Operate the Test/Reset button;
2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911);
3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open
door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away
from the open door/window until the emergency services
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and
your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24
hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance
technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation
of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equip-
ment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, or contact the manufacturer’s directly for more information
about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles
are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached or adja-
cent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will
terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert
in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the
unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels
of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.
WARNING:
Activation of the CO
Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
