-These appliances must “breathe in” air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work).

-The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimney. Ensure chimneys and flues are not blocked or leaking, and get them checked every year. Check for excessive rust or cracks on appliances and pipe work.

-Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the house to the garage open if the car is running.

-Never adjust your own gas pilot lights.

-Never use a gas cooker or a barbecue for home heating.

-Children should be warned of the dangers of CO poisoning and instructed never to touch, or interfere with the CO Alarm. Do not allow small children to press the Test/Hush button as they could be subjected to excessive noise when the unit alarms.

-Leaving windows or doors slightly open (even a few inches) will significantly reduce the risk of high levels of CO occurring. The high levels of draught-proofing in modern houses reduces ventilation and can allow dangerous gases to build up.

-Install CO Alarms in all the areas recommended in this leaflet.

-Recognise that CO poisoning may be the cause when family members suffer from “flu-like” symptoms when at home but feel better when they are away for extended periods.

Aico Ei261DENRC, Ei261ENRC manual B16132-R0-261ENRC-UC-ENG 7/11/07 1152 AM

Ei261ENRC, Ei261DENRC specifications

The Aico Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC are advanced smoke alarms designed specifically to enhance home safety while providing numerous innovative features. Both models incorporate cutting-edge technologies, ensuring maximum effectiveness and reliability in detecting smoke and fire.

The Ei261DENRC is the versatile model that includes a built-in radio interlink feature. This means that when one alarm detects smoke or an increase in temperature, all interconnected units activate simultaneously. As a result, occupants throughout the home are alerted, regardless of their location. This interconnected technology is crucial for large homes or those with multiple levels, as it significantly increases the likelihood that residents will hear the alarm, especially if they are asleep.

In contrast, the Ei261ENRC model does not have the interlink functionality but still boasts a range of important features. Both models utilize a unique high-performance optical sensing technology, which helps in accurately detecting slow-burning fires, commonly associated with smoldering materials. This feature minimizes false alarms, providing peace of mind for homeowners who are often concerned about nuisance activations.

Another standout characteristic of the Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC is their long-lasting battery life. Equipped with a lithium battery that can last up to 10 years, users can enjoy the convenience of reduced maintenance. The battery is designed to power the alarm throughout its lifespan, meaning there won’t be any need for frequent replacements.

Moreover, both alarms come with a unique ‘Smart Silence’ feature, allowing homeowners to temporarily silence the alarm with the press of a button during cooking or when dealing with minor smoke occurrences that do not pose a danger. This intelligent feature helps in preventing unnecessary distress caused by false alarms.

Furthermore, these models are designed with a user-friendly installation process in mind, with clear guidelines provided for mounting and setup. Both the Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC are compliant with the latest safety standards, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Overall, the Aico Ei261DENRC and Ei261ENRC smoke alarms represent an essential investment for any household prioritizing safety and reliability. Their integration of innovative technologies and user-friendly features make them a must-have for modern home protection.
