o keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these steps:
• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.

contamination of the sensor, prior to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping floors or furniture, painting or wall-papering
• Using aerosols or adhesives

assure continuous protection.
The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the sensor
or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings:
• Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate,
hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.

adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start) and
some cleaning agents.
