Warranty
5 Year Limited Warranty
Warranty Coverage: The manufacturer warrants to the
original consumer purchaser, that this product (except
battery) will be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of five (5) years from date of
purchase. The manufacturer’s liability hereunder is limited
to replacement of the product, repair of the product or
replacement of the product with repaired product at the
discretion of the manufacturer. This warranty is void if the
product has been damaged by accident, unreasonable use,
neglect, tampering or other causes not arising from defects
in material or workmanship. This warranty extends to the
original consumer purchaser of the product only.
Warranty Disclaimers: Any implied warranties arising out of
this sale, including but not limited to the implied
warranties of description, merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, are limited in duration to the above
warranty period. In no event shall the Manufacturer be
liable for loss of use of this product or for any indirect,
special, incidental or consequential damages, or costs, or
expenses incurred by the consumer or any other user of
this product, whether due to a breach of contract,
negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. The
Manufacturer shall have no liability for any personal injury,
property damage or any special, incidental, contingent or
consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas
leakage, fire or explosion. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or
incidental damages, so the above limitations or exclusions
may not apply to you.
Legal Remedies: This warranty gives you specific legal
rights and you may also have other rights that vary from
state to state.
The following conditions can result in transient CO situa-
tions. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning
appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions such as:
• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of
wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with
extended periods between cycles).
• Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances
competing for limited internal air.
• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers,
furnaces, or water heaters.
• Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs
which can amplify the above situations.
• Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices
(range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses
near the ground.
To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home.
Keep fuel-burning appliances and their chimneys and vents
in good working condition. Learn the early symptoms of
exposure, and if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning,
move outside to fresh air and get emergency help. Your first
line of defense is an annual inspection and regular
maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed
contractor or call your local utility company for assistance.

Possible Sources of CO
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking
are the most likely sources of carbon monoxide. Vehicles
running in attached garages can also produce dangerous
levels of carbon monoxide.
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 heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters
and generators, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and
certain swimming pool heaters.
• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air
pressure, corroded or disconnected vent pipes, loose or
cracked furnace exchangers.
• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an
open or closed garage, attached or near a home.
• Charcoal/gas grills and hibachis in an enclosed area.
