For households that need carbon monoxide protection, including homes with fuel-burning appliances. Have the CO alarm manual; placement and replacement depend on the model and local code. If it sounds, move everyone outside to fresh air and contact emergency services.

0 / 4 done

Read the alarm markings and distinguish carbon monoxide detection from a smoke-only alarm.
Check recommended locations, such as each level and outside sleeping areas, against the manual and local requirements; use professionals for wiring.
Test monthly with the test button and check the model's replacement life; never generate toxic gas for testing.
If a genuine CO alarm sounds, evacuate everyone to outdoor fresh air, call emergency responders and do not re-enter until cleared.
