
Carbon monoxide is created, among others, during
incomplete combustion processes (e.g. defective floor
heating or clogged smoke outlets).
Installing a CO alarm is not a substitute for the proper
installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning devices
including related ventilation and exhaust gas systems.
Have such devices/systems installed only by qualified
persons. Acquire the devices/systems in perfect technical
condition and have them regularly inspected.
Make sure that ovens, chimneys and the like are kept clean
at all times.
Never operate barbecues, deck ovens, heating devices or
other devices intended for use outside inside closed rooms.
