Caring for your Quell Battery Powered CO
Alarm
To keep your CO alarm in good working order, please
follow these simple steps:
•
Verify unit alarm, lights and battery operation by pushing
the test button once a week.
•
Vacuum the CO alarm cover with a soft brush attachment
once a month to remove accumulated dust.
•
Instruct children never to play with the CO alarm. Warn
children of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the CO alarm.
•
Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, paint or other
aerosols near the CO alarm.
•
Do not paint the CO alarm.
Paint will seal the vents and
interfere with the sensor ability to detect CO.
Move the CO alarm and place in another location prior to per-
forming any of the following:
•
Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
•
Painting
•
Wall papering
•
Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during the above projects will
protect the sensor from permanent damage.
WARNING: As soon as possible, place the CO alarm back in its
proper location to assure protection from Carbon Monoxide poi-
soning.
Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household
cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used.
The following substances can affect the sensor and may cause false
readings:
Methane, propane, iso-butane, iso-propanol, ethylene, benzene,
toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxides, alcohol
based products, paints, thinners, solvents, adhesives, hair sprays,
after shaves, perfumes, and some cleaning agents.
