This Carbon Monoxide Detector Is Not; Important Safety Precautions; What Is Carbon Monoxide - Airstream BAMBI 2024 Owner's Manual

WARNING
This product is intended for use in ordinary,
indoor locations of family living units. It is
not designed to measure compliance with
occupational safety and health administration
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Individuals who are at special risk from Carbon
Monoxide exposure by reason of age, pregnancy,
or medical condition may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual
signals for Carbon Monoxide concentration
under 30 ppm. If in doubt, consult your medical
practitioner.
NOTICE
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor
of the device that burns away impurities in the
air during periods of normal use. During periods
when power is interrupted, impurities can build
up on the sensor. When power is returned to the
detector, the detector alarm may activate until
the impurities are burned off. This could take a
number of hours, during which time the alarm will
be constantly on.

This Carbon Monoxide Detector Is Not

• Designed to detect smoke, fire, or any gas other than
Carbon Monoxide�
• To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of
fuel-burning appliances�
• To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable
alarm for spillage of combustion products from fuel-
burning appliances�
WARNING
This Carbon Monoxide detector is designed
for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or
moisture. Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do
not open or tamper with the alarm as this could
cause a malfunction. The detector will not protect
against the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning
when the batteries are dead or missing. The
alarm will only indicate the presence of CO gas at
the sensor. .

Important Safety Precautions

• Carbon Monoxide is produced by the incomplete
combustion of fuels such as wood, charcoal, coal,
heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane,
butane, etc�
• Ideally, it is recommended that a Carbon Monoxide
detector should be installed in or near every room
that has a fuel burning appliance such as any room
heaters, water heaters, cookers, grills, etc�
• Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those
who are intended to hear it� Seek medical help if it
is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from
Carbon Monoxide poisoning�
• If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the
problem� Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness,
injury, or death� (CO may be present even if nothing
is seen or smelled by the user�)
• Room spaces should be well ventilated when
household cleaning supplies are used as these may
cause a false alarm�
• Alarm should be tested once per week� If further
details are required, which do not appear in this
manual, contact BRK Brands Inc� First Alert�

What Is Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that
is released when fuels are burned� It is invisible, has
no smell, and is therefore, very difficult to detect with
the human senses� Under normal conditions, in a room
where fuel-burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of CO released into the
room by appliances is not dangerous�
These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural
gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane� Common
appliances are often sources of CO� If they are not
properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or
malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly� CO is a real
danger in air-tight trailers with added insulation, sealed
windows, and other weatherproofing that can trap CO
inside�
