- Page 6 If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately! Carbon Monoxide PPM Levels Model KN-COEG-3 is equipped with a digital display that shows levels of CO (displayed in PPM – parts per million). Learn the difference between dangerous, high, mid and low levels.
- 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).

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.
