- CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide,
but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient
warning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.
- This CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, butane)
or other combustible gases. Fit combustion gas alarms to detect these.
WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE EFFECTS
OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC
MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
When a fire and/or CO Alarm system is installed, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including those listed below:
• Please read all instructions.
• Use the testing of the Alarm as a means to familiarise your family with the alarm sound. Rehearse
emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows what to do in case the Alarm sounds. Further
information can be obtained from your local fire prevention officer.
• To maintain sensitivity to Fire/CO, do not paint or cover the Alarm in any manner and; do not allow
cobwebs, dust or grease to accumulate.
• If the Alarm has been damaged in any way or does not function properly, do not attempt a repair.
Return the Alarm - see Section 9 ‘SERVICE AND GUARANTEE‘ section.
• This appliance is only intended for premises having a residential type environment.
• Fire/CO Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The supplier or manufacturer is not your insurer.
• Do not dispose of your Alarm in a fire.
