Safety Notes and Warnings
Make sure that your entire living space is covered by
the carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to the best possi-
ble extent. One device is only able to early detect gas
particles in a limited area!
Install the carbon monoxide detector in a fairly accessi-
ble place (cleaning/tests/exchange of batteries)! Each
CO detector device should be checked once a week.
Never coat, paint over the housing of the carbon mon-
oxide detector device or stick something on it!
The openings of the housing must always remain free
and open and may not be covered by curtains or the
like.
Immediately exchange weak batteries.
Present the CO detector to all residents such that the
alarm signal is well know and can be reliably distin-
guished from other buzzers or (door) bells installed in
the house. Explain the meaning of the CO detector to
children and needy persons and tell them what to do in
the event of an alarm. Exchange the CO detector seven
years after its manufacturing date because the internal
CO sensor only has a limited lifespan.
Batteries and rechargeable bat-
teries do not belong in house-
hold garbage.
For battery disposal, please check
with your local council.
