instruct them not to open the door if the door is
hot.
4. Teach household members to crawl along the
floor to stay below dangerous smoke, fumes and
gases.
5. Determine a safe meeting place for all members
outside the building.
2. What to do if the CO alarm sounds
Carbon monoxide(CO) alarm pattern
is four long beeps repeating every 5
seconds. The ALARM indicator(red)
will flash the same pattern.
WARNING!
–Actuation of your CO alarm
indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can KILL YOU.
WARNING!
–Action of this device indicates
the presence of dangerous levels of CO! CO can
be fatal!
If the alarm sounds:
1. Keep calm and 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. If the alarm continues, then evacuate the
premises. Leave the doors and windows open, and
only re-enter the building when the alarm has
stopped. In 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, see Table 7.1, 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 a
competent person according to national
regulations.
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 manufacturer directly
for more information about CO safety and this
equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not
or have not been operating in an attached garage
or adjacent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it
has been corrected.
Never ignore the sound of the CO alarm!
