    What to do When the Alarm Sounds! Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure WARNING: Activation of the CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you. 1) Operate the Test/Reset button; 2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911); PHONE NUMBER: 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window.
  • Page 3 What to do When the Alarm Sounds! Gas Alarm Procedure WARNING: Activation of the Gas Alarm indicates the presence of an explosive gas which can cause an explosion and/or fire. When the unit senses either natural gas or propane, the display will show “GAS”...

  • Page 4: Important Warning Statements

    Carbon Monoxide as “CO”. The words “Gas” or “Explosive Gas” will refer to Natural Gas or Propane. This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) and gas alarm is an important part of your family’s home safety plan. This alarm has been designed and tested to detect CO and gas buildup in a residential environment.
  • Page 5 Important Warning Statements CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide, natural gas or propane at the sensor. Carbon monox- ide, natural gas or propane may be present in other areas. WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units.
  • Page 6 1. Information About Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas General Carbon Monoxide Information CO is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Periodically review this alarm manual and discuss your CO alarm emer- gency procedure with all the members of your family.
  • Page 7 See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover). Low Levels: Generally below 50 PPM. Kidde recommends you take action to eliminate the source of CO. See “What to do When the Alarm Sounds” (inside front cover).
  • Page 8 Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted alarm – the higher the level of CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered.
  • Page 9 1. Information About Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas This CO alarm is designed to act as a monitor; it is not designed for use as a short-term testing device to perform a quick check for the presence of CO. CO alarms have limitations. Like any other electronic device, CO alarms are not fool-proof.

    1. Information About Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Both propane and natural gas are colorless and odorless. For safety rea- sons, an odorant (Mercaptan) is added so that any leak can be detected by smell. The common detection threshold for smelling the gases is around 20% of the lower explosion limit (LEL).
  • Page 11 2. Product Features and Specifications IMPORTANT: Seven (7) years after the initial power up, this alarm will “beep” two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not detect CO in this condition.
