Page 3 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 4 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 5 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 6 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 7 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 user guide and discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure with all the members of your family.
Page 8 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 9 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 10 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.
Page 11 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 12 2. Product Features and Specifications IMPORTANT: Seven (7) years after the initial power up, this alarm will “beep” 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.

Page 17 5. Alarm Characteristics WARNING: When powered by battery backup only; after four min- utes, this alarm pattern occurs only every 60 seconds, until the alarm is reset or the CO is eliminated. • The digital display will show a the PPM of CO or show “GAS” only if it senses carbon monoxide or gas while in backup mode.

Model KN-COEG-3 Operating Characteristics If the battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions. Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference between a CO reading and and indication signifying a problem with the unit itself.

Page 25 What to do When the Alarm Sounds! Smoke Alarm Procedure NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM! Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cook- ing may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cook- ing area.

Page 27 Product Specifications This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization tech- nique. It contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive materi- al (see section 9). Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27.
Page 28 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area (See FIGURE •...
Page 29 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hall- way or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor space.
Page 30 2. Locations To Avoid • In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile. • Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling. • In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics;...

Page 33 4. Operation and Testing OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed and testing is complete. When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared. HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 minutes.
Page 34 5. Nuisance Alarms Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quanti- ties of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling.

Page 36 6. Maintenance lamp holder assembly. Slide the old lamp out of the lamp holder and replace it with a new lamp. Replace with the correct lamp type: Vanco #FTB 6 which is available at most radio/tv repair stores. Reinstall the lamp holder. It will snap easily into the base. Put working batteries back in the alarm and remount the alarm on its mounting bracket.
Page 37 7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms • The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home. •...
Page 38 8. Good Safety Habits - Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example, when a person's clothes catch fire while cooking. - Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due to a closed door or other obstruction. - Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's egress is blocked even with properly located detectors 9.
Page 39 11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL) Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioac- tive element in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisible combustion products. The radioactive element is safely contained in the chamber and requires no adjustments or mainte- nance.
