3 Introduction This Kidde Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm is an important part of your family’s home safety plan. Here are some basic facts you should know for your pro- tection and convenience Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, tasteless, nonirritating, poisonous gas that is completely undetectable to your senses.
Features Y our CO Alarm The feature that sets this Kidde alarm apart from other alarms is the unique digital display that gives you a continuous readout of CO levels from 30-999 parts per million. The digital display serves as an early warning of CO presence.
Features 5 What Carbon Monoxide Can and Cannot Do This unit is designed to sense certain levels of CO from malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, gas engines or other sources. This unit will pro- vide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide, usually before a healthy adult would experience symptoms.
Installation 6 Mounting Configuration LOCA TION Y our Kidde CO Alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and liv- ing areas or wherever you suspect a CO exposure to be likely . It is rec- ommended that you install a Kidde CO Alarm on each level of a multi- level home.
Do not install this alarm to a switch- or dimmer-controlled outlet if pos- sible. Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F). These areas include uncondi- tioned crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages.
Direct Plug Alarm In its “as shipped” configuration, your Kidde CO Alarm is ready to be plugged directly into a wall-mains socket. T o install: 1.) Choose a standard unswitched 230V electrical outlet to plug the alarm into. 2.) Plug the alarm in. Note: Do not cover the alarm with a curtain or other obstruction.
8. Hook the keyhole in the back cover over the screw head before or after replacing the back cover on the unit. 9. Plug the adapter into an unswitched wall socket.
Low Battery W arning If the 9 volt battery is missing, or if the battery’s power is low , an “Lb” message will display which blinks alternately with the current CO read- ing every second.
Normal Operation 11 While on AC power , in the event of a CO incident, the alarm pattern will continue to repeat as long as CO is present. NOTE: Pressing the T est/Reset button tests the functions of the alarm’s internal components, circuitry and micro-computer .
If your alarm sounder is beeping, and you are not sure if it is a CO alarm or a malfunction alert, reset the alarm, open windows for ventila- tion and evacuate the premises immediately . Then call the Kidde Freephone Customer Hotline at 0800 917 0722 for assistance.

Levels between 1 1 and 999-ppm will be display although the unit does not display values below 30-ppm during normal operation.
Where CO Comes From Inside your home, fuel burning appliances used for heating and cook- ing are the most likely sources of CO. V ehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
• Have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected and cleaned by a qualified technician every year . • Follow manufacturer ’ s directions for safe operation of all fuel- burning appliances. • Examine vents and chimneys regularly for improper connections, visible rust or stains.
Hidden Causes of CO Emission • Internal appliance damage or malfunctioning components • Improper burner adjustment • Hidden blockage or damage in chimneys Determine if anyone in the household is.
Anyone in the household who is elderly , has anemia, heart disease, respiratory problems, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis, is at a higher risk of CO poisoning and health problems from exposure to CO. If any- one in the household is at high risk for CO poisoning, we urge you to take extra precaution to prevent possible poisoning.
What to Do When the Alarm Sounds for Carbon Monoxide Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symp- toms of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the techni- cian and consult the manufacturer ’ s instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly , for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
Call a Qualified T echnician to Find and Repair the Problem Call a qualified service technician (such as a licensed heating contractor , utility service technician or fuel provider) to inspect your home for possible sources of CO leak. Do not restart these appliances until the problem is corrected.
