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:

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.
“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!
