What Carbon Monoxide Alarms Can and Cannot Do

This unit is designed to sense certain levels of CO  from malfunctioning
furnaces, appliances, gas engines or other sources. This unit will pro-
vide early warning of the presence of carbon monoxide, usually before
a healthy adult would experience symptoms. 
This early warning is possible only if your Kidde CO Alarm is located,
installed and maintained as described in this user’s guide.
This unit is designed to act as a continuous 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 a limited operational life. You must test your alarm
weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. If it does fail to test
properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction, immediately
have the unit replaced. See the back page for warranty information.
CO alarms can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. CO may
be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. Doors or other
obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the unit. In addi-
tion, fresh air from a vent or open window or any other source may pre-
vent CO from reaching the sensor. Please observe cautions in the

Where to install your alarm

” section.

CO could be present on one level of the home and not reach the alarm
installed on a different level. For example, CO in the basement may not
reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms. For this rea-
son, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO
alarm on every level of the home.
This unit is not a smoke alarm. It will not sense smoke or fire. For early
warning of fire you must install smoke alarms, even though a fire can
generate carbon monoxide.
CO alarms are not a substitute for property, disability, life or other insur-
ance of any kind. Appropriate insurance coverage is your responsibility.
Consult your insurance company.
