Should you suspect CO may be affecting you or your family, open the doors and windows of
your property to ventilate, turn off your appliances and evacuate the premises. At this time
the authorities should be contacted to locate the source of the carbon monoxide before
re-entering the building.
Medical attention should be sought for anyone suffering the effects of CO poisoning
(headache, nausea).

• Barbecues
• Clogged chimneys
• Wood or gas fireplaces
• Cigarette smoke

The NoCO Carbon Monoxide Protection System is not a smoke alarm.
Please install the appropriate alarms to detect smoke. This NoCO alarm should not be
seen as a substitute for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning
appliances (including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems), nor the sweeping
of chimneys.
