Prevent carbon-monoxide poisoning
Warning devices may provide additional protection, but should not replace the following prevention steps:
• Never burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or garages.
• Do not burn charcoal in the fireplace in your home.
• Never use gasoline-powered equipment indoors.
• Never use a gas oven to heat your home, even for a short time.
• Never idle a car in a garage, even when the garage door is open.
• Never sleep in a room while using an unvented gas or kerosene heater.
• Make sure chimneys and flues are in good condition and are not blocked.
• Have fireplaces, wood stoves and oil or gas appliances checked every year by a professional.
