WHAT TO DO IF CARBON MONOXIDE IS DETECTED

WARNING!

Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

If the Alarm Sounds:

1.Operate the Test/Silence button.

2.Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:

3.Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO alarm remains in its normal condition.

4.After following steps 1-3, if your CO alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced

immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the alarm horn and the red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT move the CO alarm!

Finding the Source of CO

After an Alarm

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. See Chapter 6 “What You Need To Know About CO.” (Page 18.) BRK

Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.
