Are there any steps I can take to prevent Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning?
• Properly equip your home with carbon monoxide alarms on every level and in
sleeping areas. The only safe way to detect if there is CO in your home is with a
CO alarm.
• Every year have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected by a
qualified technician.
• Regularly examine vents and chimneys for improper connections, visible rust and
stains.
• Install and operate appliances according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Only purchase appliances that have been approved by a nationally recognized
testing laboratory.
• Never use a gas range/stove to heat the home.
• Never leave your car idling in a closed garage or use fuel-powered appliances or
tools like generators in enclosed, attached areas such as garages or porches.
Carbon monoxide can seep into your home through vents and doors.
Do I need a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm? Where should it be installed?
• Every home with at least one fuel burning appliance/heater, attached garage or

in the hallway outside of the sleeping area.
• An alarm should be installed on every level of the home and in sleeping areas.

• Do not place the unit in dead air spaces or next to a window or door.
• Test the CO alarm once a month by pressing the test/reset button.
• Unplug the unit and vacuum with soft brush attachment or wipe with a clean, dry
cloth to remove accumulated dust monthly.
Should my Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm have a digital display? What does the
Peak Level Memory function do?
• A digital display allows you to see if CO is present and respond before it becomes
a dangerous situation.
• Peak Level Memory stores the highest recorded reading prior to being reset. This
feature enables you to know if there was a reading while you were away from
home and also can help emergency responders determine the best treatment.
Who should I call if my Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm goes off?
• If anyone is experiencing sy
mptoms, you need to get everyone into fresh air and
