1. What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has 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 no substute for proper 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 meaning long-term exposure to low levels may cause

symptoms. This Kidde alarm is me-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.

2. 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

• Barbecue’s 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 and

their chimneys and vents in good working condion. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and

if you suspect CO poisoning, move outside to 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.

2.Important Safety Informaon

NOTE: If you recognise any of the above symptoms consult your Doctor immediately.

NOTE: Young children, elderly and pets are more suscepble to the dangers of CO.

NOTE: Your Kidde alarm is designed to detect CO gas. It is not designed to detect

smoke, ﬁre or other gas such natural gas.

NOTE: This product is intended for use in ordinary family homes. It is not designed to

measure compliance with occupaonal safety and the HSE.

NOTE: Individuals with certain speciﬁc medical condions may need an alarm that

operates below 30ppm. If this applies consult your Doctor.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all family members are familiar with the symptoms of CO

poisoning and how your alarm works.

3. Switching on Your CO Alarm

NOTE: Your CO alarm must be installed by a competent person using the guidance that follows;

1. Remove the baeries from the pack and insert them into the baery compartment. Make

sure that you ﬁt the baeries in accordance with the polarity markings (+ or -) within the

baery compartment. If correctly installed, the alarm will give a short beep.

2. Push the test buon. The alarm will beep once followed by a brief pause. Then the alarm

will sound fully for 10 seconds. This conﬁrms that the alarm is powered up and working.

3. If you have a digital read-out alarm (model 5DCO) the LCD screen will show “---“ and then

“888” before seling at “0”

4. Check that the green LED ﬂashes at 30 second intervals to show that the alarm has power.

This is easiest to see in a dark area, or with lights switched oﬀ.

4.Installaon Instrucons – Recommended Locaons

*It is recommended that at least one Kidde carbon monoxide alarm is installed on each

level of the home.

Recommended Locaons Not Recommended

Install the alarm more than 2 metres from

fuel burning appliances, and ideally no more

than 4 metres away

Do not install nearer than 2 metres from fuel

burning appliances

Away from draughts, such as doors and

windows

Do not wall-mount close to obstrucons

(e.g. behind curtains, shelving or furniture)

Within hearing distance of bedrooms* If

heang appliance is in the bedroom place

the alarm at sleeping height

Do not ﬁt in dusty, dirty or greasy areas (e.g.

garages or workshops)

If wall-mounng, install at eye-level (approx

1.5m), and at least 30cm from adjoining walls

or ceiling

Do not wall-mount within 30cm of the ceiling

as this is a “dead air” space

If free-standing, the unit should be placed

no more than 1 metre from the ground (to

avoid permanent damage in case acci-

dently knocked)
