2. 중요한 안전 정보
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be fatal. It is produced when fuels burn incompletely. Sources can include furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, gas stoves, and vehicle exhaust. Proper placement and regular testing of your CO alarm are crucial for your safety.
- CO 경보를 절대 무시하지 마십시오. Act immediately if the alarm sounds.
- Know the symptoms of CO poisoning: headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, and flu-like symptoms.
- 적절한 환기를 확보하세요 for fuel-burning appliances.
- 경보기를 칠하지 마세요. Paint can clog the openings and interfere with the sensor.
