FIRST ALERT Carbon Monoxide Alarm Instructions
CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless and deadly gas that can be produced
by any fuel- burning device.
Known as “the silent killer,” CO poisoning is the number one cause of
accidental deaths in the United States – responsible for an
average of 450 deaths and more than 20,000
emergency room visits each year. 1
Carbon monoxide alarms detect this poisonous gas and provide early warning.
ARE YOU PROTECTED?
Install carbon monoxide alarms on every level and in every bedroom.
Test carbon monoxide alarms regularly. Replace batteries every six months.
Alarms don’t last forever, remember to replace.
Professionally service your furnace, dryer vent, and chimney every year
according to manufacturers instructions.
Never leave a car running in an attached garage.
Do not use generators, gas powered tools or grills inside the home.
Plan and practice an escape route with your family.
If your carbon monoxide alarm does sound, leave the home immediately for fresh
air and call 911.
