What Should I Do When My Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounds?

When your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, it indicates the presence of carbon monoxide, which can be fatal.

Never ignore the sound of an alarm.

Here's what you should do:

1. Press the TEST/RESET Button: On the alarm, press the TEST/RESET button.
2. Call Emergency Services: Dial 911 or your local fire department.
3. Move to Fresh Air: Immediately move to fresh air, either outside or near an open door or window.
4. Account for Everyone: Ensure that everyone in the structure has been accounted for. Do not enter the premises and move away from an open door or window until emergency services have arrived, the structure has been aired out, and the fire department has given the "all clear."
5. Repeat if Necessary: If the alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-5 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate the structure for sources of carbon monoxide and verify that the alarm system is functioning properly. Any problems should be immediately corrected.
6. Check for Running Vehicles: Verify that motor vehicles are not, or have not been, running in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

For more information about your specific alarm, refer to your user’s manual.
