Where to Install

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

In general, install combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.
• In or near every bedroom.
• In areas where people are likely to spend time.
• In areas where a fire or CO hazard may be present.

Placement on the ceiling or wall: Installing on the ceiling is recommended. Mount the alarm at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall. If you have a sloped, peaked or cathedral ceiling, Smoke and CO Alarms should be 4 inches (10 cm) to 3 feet (1 m) from the highest point.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a house floor plan with suggested alarm placements in the Master Bedroom, Bedroom, Hall, Kitchen, Living/Family Room, Basement, and Garage. Another diagram illustrates ceiling and wall placement, indicating a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall. A third diagram shows placement on a sloped ceiling, with recommendations for 4 inches (10 cm) from the peak and 3 feet (0.9 m) from the wall.

Where to Not Install

DO NOT LOCATE this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where 20 feet (6 meters) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce "unwanted" alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the bathroom shower, sauna, humidifier, or other sources of moisture.
• In areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C). These areas include non air conditioned spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.
• Near air vents or fans. Blowing fans, air conditioning or heating vents can blow smoke or combustion particles away from the alarm, preventing it from detecting them.
• In direct sunlight.
• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens, Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electrical noise generated by some fluorescent lights can interfere with the alarm. If this is a problem, move the alarm.
• In "dead air" spaces. Dead air spaces are typically found at the top of a room or in corners. See below for additional information.

When the Alarm Sounds

This section explains what to do when your alarm sounds for smoke or carbon monoxide.

What To Do If The Smoke Alarm

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, you are potentially in danger.
• NEVER ignore any alarm. Get out of the house as quickly as possible dressed or collect anything.

What To Do In Case of a Fire

• Don't panic; stay calm. Follow your family or your fire department as soon as possible.
• Get out of the house as quickly as possible.
• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don't open doors and windows closed, unless you must to escape through them.
• Meet at your planned meeting place outside of the house to make sure everybody can be accounted for.
• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on how to make your home safer.

What To Do If The CO Alarm Sounds

1. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911.
2. Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.
3. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers' instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

What You Need to Know About CO

What is CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:

• Mild exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as "flu"-like symptoms;
• Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting;
• Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable usually to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.

IMPORTANT
This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It claims if CO levels are extremely high, in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time, the alarm can typically sound. However, it does not claim to detect all symptoms of overexposure, healthy adults. Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people who are sick or have heart or lung problems, pregnant women, or the elderly, elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

Potential Sources of CO in the Home

Fuel-Burning Appliances: Like portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplaces, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or Insufficient Venting: Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, cracked/cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

General Limitations for Smoke/CO Alarms

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

Smoke/CO Alarms not waken all individuals: Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before opening them. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power: Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly.

Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance: Though it warns against increasing CO levels or smoke, Treatlife brand does not warrant or imply it will protect lives. Homeowners and renters must still practice fire safety and have a fire escape plan.

Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life: Although this unit has passed many stringent tests to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts manufactured homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof: Like all other electronic devices, CO Alarms has limitations. It can only detect the presence of CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of high CO levels caused by sudden events or fires. Smoke alarms may not be heard by hearing impaired persons. This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use only. It cannot be relied upon to provide protection for individuals with special needs who might not be alerted by the alarm's warning. It may not be heard by people who are sleeping or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.
