What to do when the alarm sounds:
(1) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area.
(2) Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop them. (The alarm can be silenced
immediately by pushing the test/hush button).
(3) Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.
(4) Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poi-
soning (headache, nausea), and advise that Carbon Monoxide poisoning is suspected.
(5) Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number. Keep the number in a
prominent place.
(6) Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. (If the alarm has been silenced
by pressing the test/hush button, wait at least 5 minutes so the alarm can check that the CO
has cleared).
(7) Do not use the fuel appliances again until they have been checked by an expert. In the
case of gas appliances this must be a CORGI registered installer.
When the CO Alarm detects abnormal levels of CO (above 50ppm CO) the red light starts to flash
and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher levels of CO the alarm will turn on sooner (see
table B - page 6).
