DANGER
Make sure that the following are observed when a gas
alarm sounds. There may be a risk of explosion.
Leave the building immediately, opening doors and windows as you leave.
Take others with you. If you are outside when you smell the gas, leave the
area immediately.
Avoid causing a spark, which might cause the gas to explode:
1. Do not remove the connector from the lithium battery
2. Do not light a match or smoke.
3. Do not turn appliances or lights on or off.
4. Do not use a fl ashlight.
5. Do not start a car.
6. Do not use a telephone.

Find a phone away from the area and immediately call 911 and/or your
natural gas utility. You can report leaks anonymously. Always call to
report the problem. Do not assume someone else will do it.
Do not re-enter the area until the source of the leak is found and corrected.
Follow directions from utility employees or emergency responders who are
on site.
How to Install
Gas detectors should be installed in all rooms where a gas leak may occur
or a gas appliance is located. Examples are a kitchen (gas leaks from gas
ovens and cook tops), laundry (gas leaks from a gas clothes dryer), and
furnace area (gas leaks from furnace burners or boilers). However, do not
install closer than 10 feet (3 meters) from gas appliance.
It is possible that gas leaks may migrate along pipes so consideration
should be given to place gas detectors in multiple rooms.
Gas detectors should be located between 6 to 12 inches (0.15 to 0.3
meters) from the ceiling.
Air movement around the detector must not be impeded by items hanging
from the ceiling or near the ceiling such as curtains, drapes, ceiling fans.
The detector should not be installed in the peak of a cathedral ceiling.
Wall Mounting
Tools you will need:Drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit,Phillips head
screwdriver, hammer.
1. Choose a location on the wall between 6 inches (0.15 meters) to 12
inches (0.3 meters) from the ceiling. Make a mark in the Mounting Tab
of the detector where you will drill the mounting hole.
2. Use a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit to drill the mounting hole.
3. Insert the plastic screw anchor into the mounting hole until it is fl ush
with the wall. If necessary, tap it gently with a hammer.
4. Tighten the screw into the anchor until the screwhead is about 3/16
inch (5 mm) away from the wall, leaving enough space for the Mounting
Tab.

Fix the screw temporarily
5. Hang the Mounting Tab on the screw.

6. Lightly tighten the screw to secure the detector.
7. Press and hold the Test Switch for more than 3 seconds to test the
alarm.
Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed
•
In a small enclosed space.
•
Directly above or near sources of water or humidity such as a sink,
cooktop, dishwasher or bathroom.
•
Although it is important to install detectors in rooms were gas
appliances exist, it is recommended the detector be placed as far from
these appliances as possible, preferably more than 10 feet (3 meters)
away. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these
detectors at a reasonable distance from a gas source, and thus reduce
“unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a detector is placed
directly next to a gas source.
•
If you must install the detector near a cooking appliance or cooktop
hood, install at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from appliance because cooking
vapors or grease may contaminate the detector.
•
Next to a door or window.
•
Next to a ventilation fan.
•
Near a room return or HVAC duct.
•
In an area where the temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C) or exceed
122°F (50°C).
•
In an area that is dusty or dirty.
•
In an area where organic solvents exist.
•
In a damp or very humid location.

Disposal
When disposing of this product, do so in accordance with local laws and
regulations.
Also, remove the lithium battery when disposing.
WARNING
•
Wrap the removed lithium battery with tape, etc., so that the connector
portion does not short.
Such a short may cause heat generation, an explosion, or ignition to
occur.
Any of these may result in injury or fi re.
