Part One – Your Kidde Carbon Monoxide Alarm

How to Care for Your Alarm

To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow

these simple steps:

• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset

button (see page 8).

• Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove

accumulated dust. Use the soft brush attachment of your

vacuum cleaner, and unplug the alarm from the electrical

outlet before vacuuming.

• Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise interfere

with the alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning.

• Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm.

Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily

contaminate the sensor.

• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other

aerosols near the alarm.

• Do not paint the alarm. Paint will seal the vents and

interfere with proper sensor operation.

• Do not mount the alarm directly above or near a diaper pail,

as high amounts of methane gas can cause temporary

readings on the digital display.

Note: If you will be staining or stripping wood floors or furni-

ture, painting, wall-papering, or using aerosols or adhesives for

a do-it-yourself project or hobby, before you begin: Remove the

alarm to a remote location to prevent possible damage to or contam-

ination of the sensor. You may wish to unplug the alarm and store

in a plastic bag during the project.

The following is a list of substances that at high levels can affect

the sensor and cause temporary readings on the digital display

that are not carbon monoxide readings:

Methane, propane, iso-butane, ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-

propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide,

sulfur dioxides.

Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paints, thinners,

solvents, adhesives, hair sprays, aftershaves, perfumes, auto exhaust

(cold start) and some cleaning agents.

The Peak Level Memory Button

Although the peak level feature will display levels below 30 PPM,

these levels will not result in an alarm no matter how long the

device is exposed to these levels.

The peak level feature is helpful in identifying low level CO occur-

rences below 30 PPM. Although the unit will not automatically

display levels below 30 PPM, it will detect and store these read-

ings in memory. By pressing the peak level button, concentration

levels as low as 11 and up to 999 PPM will be displayed.

Concentrations of CO between 0 and 30 PPM can often occur in

normal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30

PPM may be an indication of a transient condition that may

appear today and never reappear. Just a few examples of condi-

tions and/or sources that may cause low level readings are heavy

automobile traffic, a running vehicle in an attached garage, an

appliance that emits CO when starting up, a fire in a fireplace or

charcoal in a nearby barbecue. A temperature inversion can trap

CO generated by traffic and other fuel burning appliances caus-

ing low level readings of CO.

Normally, the digital display will read “0” and under certain con-

ditions you may notice levels of 30 or more for short periods of

time, by using the Peak level memory feature on the Kidde CO

alarm you can view concentrations of CO between 11 and 30

PPM. Use the low-level concentrations shown in memory as a

tool in identifying the source of the CO. It may be helpful to pur-

chase additional Kidde CO Alarms to place in different locations

throughout your house to isolate the CO source. Monitor the CO

concentrations shown in the peak level memory to see if readings

occur in certain areas at certain times of the day, or near a par-

ticular appliance.

Once the source is located, correcting the problem may be as easy

as opening a window, venting an appliance, backing a car out of

the garage a safe distance from living quarters, closing the

garage door, and letting the car warm up outside. It could be

possible that a weather condition caused the low-level reading

and the condition may or may not happen again.

Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks but could

develop into CO concentrations that could become harmful. If

this happens, the CO alarm will detect the dangerous level and

alarm, notifying you and others of the conditions. DO NOT

ignore high concentration readings above 30 PPM or a CO alarm-

ing device that is in alarm. Refer to page 12 for more details.

CO concentrations displayed below 30 PPM in "Peak Level"

memory are for reference only and the accuracy of the concen-

tration shown may not be as accurate as noted on page 14.

To Reset the Peak Level Memory…

Step 1. Press the peak level button.

Step 2. With the peak level button still pressed, press the

test/reset button for two seconds and release.

The number on the display will turn to “0”. The memory has

now been cleared and the alarm will begin monitoring for CO

within a few minutes.
