About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless,
and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when
inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to
carry oxygen.
Periodically review this user manual and
discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure
with your family. Never ignore a CO alarm, as
it indicates potentially dangerous CO levels. CO
alarms alert you to the presence of CO before
most people would experience symptoms of CO
poisoning, giving you time to resolve the
problem calmly.
Determine whether anyone is experiencing
symptoms of CO poisoning. Many cases of
reported CO poisoning indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they are
so disoriented that they are unable to save
themselves by exiting the building or calling for
assistance. Young children and household pets
may be the first affected. Take extra
precautions to protect high-risk persons from
CO exposure because they may experience ill
effects from CO at levels that do not affect
healthy adults.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following common symptoms are related to
CO poisoning and should be discussed with all
family members:
Mild exposure = slight headache, nausea,
vomiting, fatigue (often described as
“flu-like” symptoms).
Medium exposure = severe throbbing
headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
Extreme exposure = unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure,
death.
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO
poisoning, consult your doctor immediately.
Conditions That Can Produce CO
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of
fuel burning appliances caused by:
Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind
direction and/or velocity, including high
gusts of wind; or heavy air in the vent
pipes (cold/humid air with extended
