Carbon Monoxide as “CO”.

This Kidd carbon monoxid (CO) alarm is an important part of your

family’s hom saf ty plan. This alarm has b n d sign d and t st d to

sp cifically in th hom . As an own r of a CO alarm, th r ar som

basic facts you should know about for your prot ction.

Many p opl think that CO alarms op rat lik smok alarms. Lik

smok alarms, CO alarms monitor th air in your hom and sound a

loud alarm to warn you of troubl . Th way you r spond to a CO alarm

is quit diff r nt than a smok alarm. That’s b caus a hous fir and a

your smok alarm is alarming in a non- m rg ncy situation. B caus

your s ns of sight, sm ll, h aring and touch giv you information, you

can almost instantly judg what action to tak if you h ar your smok

CO is an invisibl , odorl ss, tast l ss and non-irritating gas – compl t ly

und t ctabl to your s ns s. That’s why it is important to your saf ty

that you hav a CO alarm.

CO can b produc d wh n burning any fossil fu l, such as gasolin ,

propan , natural gas, oil and wood. It can b produc d by any fu l-

burning applianc that is malfunctioning, improp rly install d, or not

v ntilat d corr ctly, such as:

• V hicl s and oth r combustion ngin s running in an op n or clos d

garag , attach d or n ar a hom .

• Burning charcoal or fu l in grills and hibachis in an nclos d ar a.

Conditions That Can Produce Carbon Monoxide

Th following conditions can r sult in transi nt CO situations:

• Exc ssiv spillag or r v rs v nting of fu l-burning applianc s caus d

by outdoor ambi nt conditions, such as, wind dir ction and/or v loci-

Information About Carbon Monoxide Alarms –

What They Can and Cannot Do:

CO alarms provid arly warning of th pr s nc of CO, usually b for a

h althy adult would xp ri nc symptoms. This arly warning is possibl ,

how v r, only if your CO alarm is locat d, install d and maintain d as

d scrib d in this guid .

B caus carbon monoxid is a cumulativ poison, long-t rm xposur s

to low l v ls may caus symptoms, as w ll as short-t rm xposur s to

high l v ls. This Kidd unit has a tim -w ight d alarm – th high r th

l v l of CO pr s nt, th soon r th alarm will b trigg r d.

This CO alarm can only warn you of th pr s nc of CO. It do s not

pr v nt CO from occurring, nor can it solv an xisting CO probl m. If

your unit has alarm d and you’v provid d v ntilation by l aving your

windows and doors op n, th CO buildup may hav dissipat d by th

tim h lp r sponds. Although your probl m may app ar to b

t mporarily solv d, it’s crucial that th sourc of th CO is d t rmin d

and that th appropriat r pairs ar mad .

This CO alarm is d sign d to act as a monitor; it is not d sign d for us

as a short-t rm t sting d vic to p rform a quick ch ck for th pr s nc

of CO.

CO alarms hav limitations. Lik any oth r l ctronic d vic , CO alarms

ar not fool-proof. CO alarms hav a limit d op rational lif . You must

t st your CO alarm w kly, b caus it could fail to op rat at any tim .

If your CO alarm fails to t st prop rly, or if its s lf-diagnostic t st r v als

a malfunction, imm diat ly hav th unit r plac d. This alarm will not

monitor CO l v ls whil in an rror condition.

CO alarms can only s ns CO that r ach s th unit’s s nsor. It’s possibl

that CO may b pr s nt in oth r ar as without r aching th alarm. Th

rat and ability that which CO r ach s th alarm may b aff ct d by:

• Doors or oth r obstructions.

• Fr sh air from a v nt, an op n window or oth r sourc .
