• 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 red, amber &
green lights will immediately flash in sequence to show they are working. (For the
Display models, the LCD screen will display all icons). Then wait 15 seconds after
connecting the power before button testing.
• 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 Ô head heightÕ , where the light indicators can be seen.
• Test the Alarm weekly by pressing the test/hush button, the horn will sound (at
a diminished sound output level initially and then quickly reach maximum sound
output level).
• Replace Alarm after approx 6 years operation (see ‘Replace by’ date on side wall
label).
• Do not fit Alarm until all building work is completed to avoid contamination.
