How Can I Protect My Family?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

•Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can pre- vent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

•Test and maintain all fuel-burning equip- ment annually. Many local gas or oil com- panies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

•Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appli- ances for excessive rust and scaling.

Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO may be

present. Keep the blower door on the fur- nace closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appli- ances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

•Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

•Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

•Keep windows and doors open slightly.

•If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can signifi- cantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your CO Alarm alarms.
