1. What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no taste, colour or smell.
Potenal Sources o CO
•Wood-burning stoves
•Gas boilers and fires
•Gas Hobs
•Oil and coal burning appliances
•Portable gas heaters
•Blocked flues and chimneys
•Fumes rom integral garages
•Barbecues
•High concentraons o tobacco smoke
This CO alarm is no substute or proper maintenance o your
appliances.
Carbon monoxide can be produced rom poorly burning appliances
or rom blocked flues and chimneys.
I your alarm has sounded and you have venlated the room the CO
may have dispersed be ore help arrives. It is crucial that the source
o CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out.
Carbon monoxide is a cumulave poison meaning long-term exposure to low levels may cause
symptoms. This alarm is me-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.
NOTE: The apparatus may respond to brief exhaust gas emissions, for example during the inial
start-up of an appliance. Also, hydrogen acts as an interferent and can arise from some baery
charging acvies and the curing of concrete or cement under certain circumstances. Volale
Organic Compounds (VOCs), e.g. alcohols, which may eventually acvate the alarm, can be
generated from use of damp-proo ng materials or other coangs containing alkylalkoxysilanes.

2. Further in ormaon or Caravan and Boat Owners
The following can lead to carbon monoxide being produced;
• Using LPG cooking appliances for space heang
• Leaving LPG appliances on overnight
• Barbecue’s 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 and
their chimneys and vents in good working condion. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and
if you suspect CO poisoning, move outside to fresh air and get emergency help. Your rst line of
defence is an annual inspecon and regular maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed
contractor or call your local ulity company for assistance.
This alarm has not been tested speci cally for use in caravans or boats. Only CO alarms
cer ed to EN50291-2 are fully approved for this purpose.
