Product Usage Instructions

1. What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste,
color, or smell. This CO alarm is not a substitute for the correct
maintenance of your appliances. Carbon monoxide can be produced
from poorly burning appliances or from blocked flues and chimneys.
If your alarm has sounded and you have ventilated the room, the CO
may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the
source of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried
out.

1. What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste, colour or smell.

Poten al Sources of CO · Wood-burning stoves · Gas boilers and fires · Gas Hobs · Oil and coal burning appliances · Portable gas heaters · Blocked flues and chimneys · Fumes from integral garages · Barbecues

This CO alarm is not a subs tute for the correct maintenance of your appliances.
Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances or from blocked flues and chimneys.
If your alarm has sounded and you have ven lated the room the CO may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the source of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out.

Carbon monoxide is a cumula ve poison. This Kidde alarm is me-weighted the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.

Further informa on for Caravan and Boat Owners
The following can lead to carbon monoxide being produced: · Using LPG cooking appliances for space hea ng · Leaving LPG appliances on overnight · Barbecues within the boat cabin or near a caravan door (e.g. under an awning) To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel burning appliances, chimneys and vents in good working condi on. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO poisoning, move outside into fresh air and get emergency help. Your first line of defence is an annual inspec on and regular maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local u lity company for assistance.

Peak Level Display
Press peak level bu on to display the highest CO reading between 11 999ppm since the peak level was reset. This feature is useful to help you to know what levels of CO may have been detected in your absence so correc ve ac on can be taken (such as servicing your boiler). NOTE: The peak level memory is cleared to zero if while holding the peak level bu on the test reset is pressed and released before releasing the peak level. CO levels up to 30ppm can occur under normal non-dangerous condi ons. Such condi ons could include nearby heavy traffic, star ng a vehicle in an a ached garage, star ng a fire or a nearby charcoal barbecue.
