CO MONITOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If CO alarm is activated, you should open all windows and doors (if safe to do so). Turn off all
fuel burning appliances if possible and then evacuate the property leaving the windows and
doors open. Get immediate medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Do not re-enter the property until the alarm stops. The alarm will stop once the CO
has cleared. Do not use fuel burning appliances again until the CO source has been located
and rectified by a qualified technician.
Avoid using paint, thinners, solvent fumes, air fresheners, aerosol sprays or chemical cleaners
near the appliance. This may affect functioning of CO monitor.
To activate the CO monitor, connect the plug to a socket outlet. The CO Alert LED will display
green. When the CO monitor detects unsafe level of CO, the CO alarm will ring loudly and the
CO Alert button and Air Quality LED Ring will blink in red color. The alarm will continue to ring
until the detected CO reduces to a safe level.
Touch CO Alert Button for 3 seconds to test the CO Alarm function and the alarm will ring
loudly for 5 seconds. Test the alarm monthly and after prolonged absence from the building
(e.g. holidays). If the alarm fails to ring after touching the CO Alert Button for 3 seconds,
please contact the Hoover customer care center to arrange a qualified technician to repair the
fault.
If the display indicates that the CO sensor is faulty or end of life has been reached, please
contact the Hoover customer care center to arrange a qualified technician to replace the CO
sensor. The expected lifetime of the CO sensor is 7 years and must be replaced after this time.
Do not allow small children to press the CO Alert button for 3 seconds as they could be subject
to excessive noise when the alarm rings.
Operating Humidity: 15 – 90% RH
Operating Temperature: 0°C to + 40°C
Carbon Monoxide affects the body by starving (suffocating) critical organs of oxygen.
When CO is inhaled it attaches to the hemoglobin in the blood that normally carries oxygen
throughout the body. CO permanently displaces the ability for oxygen molecules to attach
to the hemoglobin, thus reducing oxygen to vital organs. The concentration level and time
exposed to CO can vary its effects on the body, but experts agree even low levels of carbon
monoxide exposure over prolonged periods can have serious and lasting affects to anyone's
overall health.
WARNING: THE CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE
ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE OR PREVENT THE CHRONIC
EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD
INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A
MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
