Keep calm and open all doors and windows to increase the
rate of ventilation. Stop using all combustion devices and
make sure that they are switched off.
Press the Test/Reset button to switch off the alarm signal.
Do not enter the affected area until the CO concentration
has fallen below the critical level.
If the CO concentration is still critical after the muting time of
5 min, the CO alarm goes off again. (For values over 999°
ppm, the alarm signal cannot be switched off!)
Leave the building in particular when the CO level is high or
when the source cannot be instantly detected and alert
occupants, if applicable.
Call the fire service/rescue worker immediately. Follow their
instructions. Inform them that you assume carbon monoxide
it being inhaled.
Do not use the affected combustion device until the cause
of CO emission has been removed by a professional.
