What To Do If The Alarm Sounds
20
When the carbon monoxide alarm sounds:
If alarm signal sounds:
1) Operate the test/reset button
2) Call your emergency
services (Fire Dept. or 911)
3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open
door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons
are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move
away from the open door/window until the emergency
services responders have arrived, the premises has been
aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal
condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates
within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a
qualified appliance technician
to investigate for sources of
CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If
problems are identified during this inspection have the
equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion
equipment not inspected by the technician and consult
the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the
manufacturer’s directly, for more information about CO
safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an
attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
fixed. NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM!
