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.
