1. What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste, colour or smell.
Potenal Sources of CO
• Wood-burning stoves
• Gas boilers and fires
• Gas Hobs
• Oil and coal burning appliances
• Portable gas heaters
• Blocked flues and chimneys
• Fumes from integral garages
• Barbecues
This CO alarm is not a substute for the correct maintenance of your
appliances.
Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances
or from blocked flues and chimneys.
If your alarm has sounded and you have venlated the room the CO
may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the source
of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out.
Carbon monoxide is a cumulave poison. Longterm exposure to low levels may cause symptoms.
This Kidde alarm is me-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.
