CO ALARM REPLACEMENT: 

CO Alarms don’t last enduringly. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts. Although the alarm and its 

component parts have undergone stringent tests, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, 

you should test your CO Alarm weekly. The CO Alarm must be replaced in 3 years or by the recommended replacement date on 

the label of unit on back side. 

 
CLEAN THE CO ALARM 

Clean the CO alarm at least once a month to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Using the soft brush or wand 

attachment to a vacuum cleaner, vacuum all sides and cover of CO alarm. Be sure all the vents are free of debris. 

If necessary, use a damp cloth to clean CO alarm cover. 

IMPORTANT: 

Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean inside the CO alarm. This will void your warranty.   

 

NOTE:  

z

 

Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the 

sensor.  

z

 

Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.   

z

 

Do not paint the alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with proper sensor operation.   

 

Move the CO Alarm to a remote location, to prevent possible damage to or contamination of the sensor if you will be staining 

or stripping wood floors or furniture, painting, wall-papering, or using aerosols or adhesives. 

WARNING

:

 Reinstall the CO Alarm as soon as possible to assure continuous protection. 

The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the sensor or cause temporary false alarm that is not a 

carbon monoxide alarm. 

Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. 

Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products; paint, thinner, solvent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto 

exhaust (cold start) and some cleaning agents. 

 

WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS   

WARNING 

Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can kill you. If alarm sounds: 

1.

 

Operate reset button 

2.

 

Call your emergency services 

3.

 

Immediately move to fresh air-outdoors or by an open door/window. Make sure that all persons are alerted. Do not 

re-enter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until emergency services responders have arrived, 

the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.   

4.

 

After following steps 1-3, if your 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 manufacturer’s instructions, or contact 

the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are
