1. What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no taste, colour or smell.
Potenal 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 substute 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 venlated 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 cumulave 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 informaon for Caravan and Boat Owners
The following can lead to carbon monoxide being produced;
• Using LPG cooking appliances for space heang
• 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 condion. 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 inspecon and regular maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed
