How to Operate Your CO Alarm (cont.)
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 may cause damage and will void
the warranty.
What to Do if Your Alarm Sounds
Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen, felt, tasted, or smelled – but it can
be FATAL.
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.
Make certain that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emer-
gency 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 sources of CO from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and to 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 manufacturers' instruc-
tions, 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.
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 dust-
ing or cleaning. If necessary, occasionally vacuum the case of the CO
alarm. To clean the CO alarm, unplug each CO alarm from its wiring har-
ness 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.
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.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The alarm is properly connected to AC power, but the green
LEDs do not light.
Solution: Return alarm to Maple Chase Company for service (see warranty).
Problem: Amber FAULT light flashes every 30 seconds.
