1. What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste, colour or smell.
Poten0al Sources of CO |
This CO alarm is not a subs0tute for the correct maintenance of your |
|
|
|
|
• |
Wood-burning stoves |
appliances. |
• |
Gas boilers and fires |
|
• |
Gas Hobs |
Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances |
• |
Oil and coal burning appliances |
or from blocked flues and chimneys. |
• |
Portable gas heaters |
|
• |
Blocked flues and chimneys |
If your alarm has sounded and you have ven0lated the room the CO |
• |
Fumes from integral garages |
may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the source |
• |
Barbecues |
of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out. |
Carbon monoxide is a cumula0ve poison. This Kidde alarm is 0me-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.

Further informa0on for Caravan and Boat Owners
The following can lead to carbon monoxide being produced:
•Using LPG cooking appliances for space hea0ng
•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 condi0on. 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 inspec0on and regular maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local u0lity company for assistance.
