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.
