IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO blinds to the hemoglobin in the
blood and inhibits its capacity to carry oxygen. CO kills hundreds of people each year and injures many more because it is difficult to
be detected with the human senses. In high concentrations, CO can kill in minutes.

Page 2: Symptoms Of Co Poisoning
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO. CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not ventilated correctly, such as: Automobiles, furnaces, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water... -

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms) Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, death. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well. They become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either the building or calling for assistance. - Page 4 If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway. In a Single-level Home: Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.
