Carbon Monoxide Overview
Your new Kidde Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is a sophisticated instrument that has been carefully designed and tested to detect CO build up
in a residential environments. Your alarm is for use specifically in the
home.
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of
CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin level and interferes
with the body’s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the
concentration, carbon monoxide can kill in minutes.
The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning, or misuse of, gas
appliances used for heating and cooking, vehicles engines, electric generators, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed space.
Indications of CO poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but
with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness,
headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems may experience symptoms sooner.Each year a qualified Corgi
(gas) or Hetas (solid fuel) engineer should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney,and flues.
Your new Kidde CO alarm has a five year0 warranty. Please take a few
minutes to thoroughly read the user’s guide and familiarize yourself and
your family with its operation. Your Kidde CO alarm was designed to
detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT
designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gases. If you have any questions please call us on 01753 685148.

Installation Instructions
Where To Install Your Kidde CO Alarm
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the
placement and installation of your Kidde CO Alarm.
• Place out of the reach of children. Under no circumstance should children be allowed to handle or install the CO alarm.
• Install in a bedroom or hallway located close to the sleeping area. Take
special care to verify the alarm can be heard in sleeping areas.
• It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each level of a multilevel home.
• Locate at least [but no closer than] 2 metres away from all fuel burning
appliances.
• Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the red and green
indicator lights, or, as a guide, 1.5 metres from the floor.
• Ensure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed.
• Do not install in dead air spaces such as peaks of vaulted ceilings, or
gabled roofs.
• Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans.
• Do not place near fresh air vents or close to doors and windows that
open to the outside.
• Keep the CO alarm away from excessively dusty, dirty, or greasy areas
such as kitchens, garages and boiler or utility rooms. Dust, grease and
household chemicals can affect the sensor.
• Keep out of damp and humid areas such as the bathroom. Avoid spraying aerosols near the CO alarm.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is below 40˚F (4.4˚C) or
hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚C).
• Do not place behind curtains or furniture. CO must be able to reach the
sensor for the unit to accurately detect carbon monoxide. NEVER
the CO alarm flat on a table top or similar surface.
• Be aware that certain conditions can result in transient CO situations,
such as:
1)Excessivespillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused
by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
i)Winddirection and/orvelocity,includinghighgusts of wind. Heavyair
inthevent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
