It cannot be seen, felt, tasted, or smelled. The effects of CO poisoning can cause household members to become extremely ill or even cause death. Due to damage, poor maintenance, or defects, many appliances like furnaces, ovens, fireplaces, kerosene heaters, and grills may silently emit CO. Advance warning of CO poisoning is only possible if you install and maintain a CO detection device. The amount of CO in the air is measured in parts per million (ppm). Carbon monoxide occurs when fuel burns without sufficient oxygen (incomplete combustion). This type of malfunction can happen to any fuel-burning appliance at any time. Many fireplace chimneys, for example, can become filled with leaves during the fall season. If enough leaves, dirt, and soot are accumulated in the chimney, proper ventilation will be interrupted. This can cause a backdraft of CO into the home. The result can be fatal. With proper maintenance and cleaning, however, the potential for CO build up can be reduced. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious issue. Many families suffer daily, and over one thousand lives are lost each year because of this deadly household gas. With proper maintenance and care, this CO alarm can give family members advance warning to CO emissions. Please read this manual thoroughly to learn how to properly install, operate, clean, and repair your CO alarm, and for important safety tips to safeguard your family from deadly CO poisoning.
