INTRODUCTION
Carbon Monoxide is an odourless, tasteless, invisible and deadly gas.
It is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as natural gas, heating oil,
coal or wood. The incomplete combustion of fuel can occur in devices such as
furnaces, boilers, room heaters, hot water heaters, stoves, etc.
Many thousands of fatal domestic accidents are caused by carbon monoxide
poisoning, which is why CO is also known as "the silent killer".
The detector will be activated when it detects a harmful buildup of carbon monoxide
in your home.
In order to ensure maximum safety, we suggest that a detector be installed on every
floor.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
1) Install the detector 1.5 m above the floor and 0.5 m below the ceiling and pick a
spot with adequate air circulation.
2) In close vicinity to equipment or appliances that run on combustible fuel,
generally to be found in kitchens, living areas with fireplaces, etc…
DO NOT INSTALL THIS DEVICE
a) Within 5 feet of any cooking unit.
b) In poorly ventilated areas where drapes, furniture or other objects inhibit proper
air circulation.
c) In close vicinity to air inlets for ceiling fans, doors, windows, etc. because the
turbulence affects the operation of the unit.
d) Where the normal ambient temperature is situated below freezing point or exceeds
40 degrees C.
e) In a bathroom where it could easily be splashed with water or affected by
condensation.
f) In a room that is not equipped with a constant electric power supply.
