• Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Ei Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This
will help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon
Monoxide- the silent killer.
• The Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) is powered up by carefully rotating it
onto the mounting plate which activates the on/off switch. The indicator lights
will immediately flash in sequence to show they are working. (For the Display
models, the LCD screen will briefly display all icons). Then wait 15 seconds after
connecting the power before button testing.
• The Power light is not illuminated during standby. This light will flash green
when the test button is pressed to indicate that power is present and Alarm is
functioning.
• Install a CO Alarm in every room that contains a fuel burning appliance,
particularly rooms where people spend a lot of time e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and
sitting rooms.
• In rooms with an appliance, install (preferably) on the ceiling, (300mm from walls)
and between 1m to 3m horizontally from appliance. In rooms remote from the
appliance install at ‘head height’, where the light indicators can be seen.
• Test the Alarm weekly by pressing and holding the test button for a few seconds.
• Replace Alarm when the “REPLACE UNIT BY” date has been reached. Check
the label on the side of the Alarm.
• Do not fit Alarm until all building work is completed to avoid contamination.
