What To Do If The Alarm Sounds
Step 4
Peak Level Memory
If the CO sensor has detected a CO level of 100 PPM or higher
since last reset, it will be recorded by the Peak Level Memory
function. To access the Peak Level Memory press the test/reset
button. If a reading of 100 PPM or higher has been recorded
the unit will chirp 8 times. If you’ve been away from home this
feature allows you to check if there was a CO reading of 100,
or higher, during your absence. Pushing the test/reset button
resets the memory. It’s also reset when batteries are removed.
What To Do If The Alarm Sounds
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!
Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your
Kidde Combination Smoke/CO Alarm. The voice
message warning system will inform you of the type of
situation occurring. Refer to the Features section on page 4 for
a detailed description of each alarm pattern.
When the smoke alarm sounds:
Smoke alarms are designed to minimise false 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 located too close to the
cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are
generated from spills or when grilling. Using the fan on a
cooker hood which vents to the outside (non recirculating
type) will also help remove these combustible products from
the kitchen.
