Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic.

It also moves freely in the air. CO detectors can measure the con-

centration and sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful

level is reached. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects

of CO gas during sleeping hours; therefore, CO detectors should

be located in or as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home.

For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside

primary sleeping areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5

indicates the suggested locations in the home.

Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:

• Where the temperature may drop below -10ºC or exceed 40ºC

• Near paint thinner fumes

• Within 5 feet (1.5m) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces

• In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys

• Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector

PLEASE REFER TO THE CO DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION

SHEET FOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION.

Household Fire Safety Audit

Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.

Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit

be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.

1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded

lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or

household service, have a professional evaluate these units.

2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area?

Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.

3. Are fire-hazardous materials (e.g., matches) well out of reach of children?

4. Are furnaces and wood-burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order?

Have a professional evaluate these appliances.

Fire Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus

very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
