Welcome

Note: Many times throughout this User’s Guide, we will refer to
Carbon Monoxide as “CO”.

This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is an important part of your
family’s home safety plan. This alarm has been designed and tested to
detect CO buildup in a residential environment. Your alarm is for use
specifically in the home. As an owner of a CO alarm, there are some
basic facts you should know about for your protection.

Many people think that CO alarms operate like smoke alarms. Like
smoke alarms, CO alarms monitor the air in your home and sound a
loud alarm to warn you of trouble. The way you respond to a CO alarm
is quite different than a smoke alarm. That’s because a house fire and a
CO problem are two distinctly different situations. If your smoke alarm
were to alarm, you would quickly be able to judge the level of danger
you were in with your senses. You can see and smell the smoke, feel the
heat, see, and possibly hear the fire burning. You can also readily see if
your smoke alarm is alarming in a non-emergency situation. Because
your sense of sight, smell, hearing and touch give you information, you
can almost instantly judge what action to take if you hear your smoke
alarm.

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas – completely
undetectable to your senses. That’s why it is important to your safety
that you have a CO alarm.

Important Warning Statements

IMPORTANT: This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect
carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT
designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.

WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke alarms.

This carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and
maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your
home.

This carbon monoxide alarm will not sense smoke, fire, or any 
poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though carbon
monoxide can be generated by fire. For this reason you must
install smoke alarms to provide early warning of fire and to pro-
tect you and your family from fire and its related hazards.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in
other areas.
