See the “What To Do If Your Alarm Sounds” section of this manual for important action steps to be taken. • If you wish to press the TEST/RESET button during this time, the alarm will become quiet for approximately four minutes. The ALARM signals will be reenergized within 4 minutes from the time the reset button is pressed if the concentration of carbon monoxide surrounding the alarm remains at 70 ppm or greater. • The alarm will remain silent if the CO concentration has decreased below the alarm level of the standard. See the “What To Do If Your Alarm Sounds” section of this manual for important action steps to be taken. • The alarm will continue for as long as the condition exists. The alarm will not permanently end its ALARM mode until the concentration of CO has been reduced to a safe level. 5 Test Your CO Alarm Weekly Momentarily press the TEST/RESET button and note the alarm sound. Also note that the LED indicators flash the proper test sequence as described in “How to Install Your CO Alarm.” If the alarm does not beep after depressing the TEST/RESET button or exhibit the correct LED test sequence, immediately return the CO alarm to Maple Chase for repair or replacement. See the warranty information at the end of this manual. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself as this will potentially cause damage and void the warranty. What to Do if the Alarm Sounds ! WARNING Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen, felt, tasted, or smelled – but it can be FATAL. ! WARNING IF THE RED ALARM LED INDICATOR IS FLASHING AND THE ALARM IS SOUNDING APPROXIMATELY EVERY FIVE SECONDS, IT INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CO WHICH CAN BE FATAL. YOU MUST QUICKLY DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Operate TEST/RESET button; 2. Call your emergency services [fire department or 911]; 3. Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition. 4. After following steps 1 – 3, if your 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 technicians and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer 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. ! WARNING If the CO alarm sounds its alarm horn again, it has sensed CO. This is not a false alarm. Maintenance and Cleaning This CO alarm does not require any maintenance, except occasional dusting or cleaning. If necessary, occasionally vacuum the case of the CO alarm. To clean the CO alarm, unplug each CO alarm from its wiring harness and use a damp cloth to clean the OUTSIDE of CO alarm case. DO NOT remove cover or attempt to clean inside the CO alarm. Dry the cover completely and plug each CO alarm back onto the wire harness and replace on the mounting bracket. Press in, hold, and release TEST/RESET button on each CO alarm to test after cleaning. ! WARNING Do not use abrasive cleansers, or spray the CO alarm with cleaning agents or waxes, especially cleaners containing ammonia. These liquids may impair the performance of sensors. Do not submerge the CO alarm in water. Replacing the Battery (for Model COQ6 only) 1. Turn off power at main fuse box or circuit breaker. 2. Slide alarm in direction of arrow on side of unit to remove from bracket. 3. Disconnect wire harness from back of unit. 4. Open battery compartment and replace battery. 5.

Problem: Amber Fault light flashes every 30 seconds Solution: Press the Test/Reset button to allow the alarm to re-check itself internally.

Solution: The battery needs to be replaced (see “How to Operate Your CO Alarm”). Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide poisoning has many symptoms. However, some symptoms are very similar to flu symptoms, the effects of intoxication, or drug usage. In many CO cases, people feel ill and stay home to rest. This only compounds the CO poisoning because they stay in the home where CO is present. As CO levels rise, the symptoms become more extreme. At low level...
