Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol . When
you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to
the potential for personal injury. Understand these signal words:
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the
safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies
hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is
used to identify unsafe practices which may result in minor personal
injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or

Most states in the USA and jurisdictions in Canada have laws that
require the use of Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms with fuel burning
products. Examples of fuel burning products are furnaces, boilers, space
heaters, generators, water heaters, stoves/ranges, clothes dryers,
fireplaces, incinerators, automobiles, and other internal combustion
engines. Even if there are no laws in your jurisdiction requiring a CO
Alarm, it’s highly recommended that whenever any fuel burning product
is used in or around the home or business that the dwelling be equipped
with a CO Alarm(s). The Consumer Product Safety Commission
recommends the use of CO Alarm(s). The CO Alarm(s) must be
installed, operated, and maintained according to the CO Alarm
manufacturer’s instructions. For more information about Carbon
Monoxide, local laws, or to purchase a CO Alarm only, please visit the
