• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of
people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are
unsure about system operation, contact your installer.
We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire
safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house
fire safety inspection.

Carbon monoxide detectors
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic, it also moves freely in the air. CO
detectors can measure the concentration and sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful level
is reached. The human body is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours;
therefore, CO detectors should be located in or as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home.
For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside primary sleeping areas or on each
level of your home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home.
Do NOT place the CO alarm in the following areas:
• Where the temperature may drop below -10ºC or exceed 40ºC
• Near paint thinner fumes
• Within 5 feet (1.5m) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces
• In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys
• Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector
PLEASE REFER TO THE CO DETECTOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION.
