WARNING: This FireAngel carbon
monoxide detector is not a combustible
gas detector, nor a smoke detector. Please
install the proper detectors to detect
combustible gases, or smoke.
This CO detector should not be seen as a
substitute for the proper installation, use,
and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances
(including appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems), nor the sweeping of chimneys.
WARNING: Variables relating to your
fuel buring appliances can change
at any point eg. the flue or chimney could
suddenly become blocked or damaged,
appliances may stop running correctly or
circumstances in neighbouring properties
may change resulting in the presence of
carbon monoxide. For this and other reasons
do not use this carbon monoxide detector
on an intermittent basis, or as a portable
detector for trying to trace one source of the
spillage of combustion products from fuel-
burning appliances or from chimneys.
