Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4 °С) or hotter than 100°F (37.8 °С), such as garages and unfinished attics. Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away from doors and windows that open to the outside.
5. Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Maintenance

То keep your smoke/CO alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:

1. Verify the unit's alarm sound and indicators are working properly by testing the unit once а week.
2. Remove the unit from the ceiling/wall and clean the alarm cover and vents with а soft brush attachment once а month to remove dust and dirt.
3. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor's aЬility to detect smoke or СО. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
6. When removed, place the smoke/CO alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
7. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.

lf the Smoke Alarm Sounds

1. Don't panic; stay calm. Follow your family's escape plan.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don't stop to get dressed or collect anything.

3. Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.
4. lf а door is cool, open it slowly. Don't open а hot door. Кеер doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with а cloth (preferably damp).
6. Take short, shallow breaths.
7. Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do а head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
8. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
9. Never go back inside а burning building for any reason.
10. Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

lf the СО Alarm Sounds

1. Кеер calm and immediately move to fresh air. Open all doors and windows to increase the rate of ventilation. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off, e.g. for gas appliances, isolate the emergency control valve.
2. lf the alarm continues to be activated, then evacuate the premises. Leave the doors and windows open, and only re-enter the building when the alarm has stopped. ln multi-occupancy and multi-storey premises, ensure that all the occupants are alerted to the risk.
3. Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, and advise that carbon monoxide inhalation is suspected.
4. Telephone the appropriate appliance servicing and/or maintenance agency or, when necessary, the relevant fuel supplier on their emergency number or the national Gas Emergency Service Provider, if appropriate, so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obviously spurious, do not use the fuel-burning appliances again, until they have been checked and cleared for use by а competent person according to national regulations.

What You Need to Know About СО

СО cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build-up of СО in the blооd is called the carboxyhemoglobin (СОНЬ) level and interferes with the body's ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, СО can kill in minutes. The most common sources of СО are malfunctioning gas appliance used for heating and cooking, vehicles running in an attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating а grill in an enclosed space.

lndications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptiЬle to the danger of СО, but experts agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the highest risk for serious injury or death. Every year а qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney, and flues.

The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household:

Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "Flu-like" symptoms).

Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast heart rate.

Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death.

The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of each level is important.
