About this User’s Guide

Notice we call this booklet a “User’s Guide” and not an

“Owner’s Manual.” This is because our intention is you use

this guide just as you will be using your Kidde CO alarm. Keep

the guide in a handy location and refer to it when you have

questions about your CO alarm, its functions and features, or

if you have questions about carbon monoxide. It will take

about an hour of your time, but it’s well worth it. Please read

it in the sequence presented. Reading this guide is the only

way to learn how to use your unit wisely and to know how to

react in the event of an alarm.

Part One

features of your Kidde carbon monoxide alarm, how and

where to install it, as well as information on testing and main-

taining your unit.

Part Two

information about carbon monoxide (CO). From discovering

the most common sources of CO in your home to recognizing

information that could help protect your family from carbon

monoxide poisoning.

Part Three

What You Should Know Before the Alarm Sounds, pro-

vides a common sense approach to understanding the differ-

tions you might have after reading this user’s guide.

This Kidde carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is an important part

of your family’s home safety plan. Because CO alarms for the

home haven’t been available until recently, most people

haven’t had much experience using them. As a new owner of

a CO alarm, there are some basic facts you should know for

your protection and convenience.

Many people think that CO alarms operate like smoke alarms.

And in some basic ways, this is true. Like smoke alarms, CO

alarms monitor the air in your home and sound a loud alarm

to warn you of trouble.

But, the similarities end here. The way you respond to a CO

alarm is quite different than that of a smoke alarm. That’s

because a house fire and a carbon monoxide 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 (if any) with your five senses: you could see and

smell the smoke, you could feel the heat, you could see and

even hear the fire burning. You could also readily see if your

smoke alarm were alarming in a non-emergency situation, say

if someone smoked up the kitchen with some seriously burnt

toast. Because your sense of sight, smell, hearing and touch

give you so much information, you could almost instantly

judge what action to take if you heard your smoke alarm.

But now, what about a CO alarm? Carbon monoxide (CO) is

invisible, odorless, tasteless and non-irritating–completely

undetectable to your five senses. That’s why it’s so important

to your safety that you have a carbon monoxide alarm. But,

how do you know what to do if your unit alarms?

You have to learn what to do, because your five senses won’t

tell you. That’s why this user’s guide is so important. Please

take the time to read this guide from cover to cover, to famil-

iarize yourself with the facts about carbon monoxide, how

your new unit works, and what to do if it alarms. Then, find

a handy place to keep the guide so it will be readily available

in the future when you have a question. You might want to

write down Kidde toll-free customer service number and keep

it with your other important phone numbers for the same

reason.

Thank you for making Kidde a part of your complete home

safety program. With proper installation and use, your new

Kidde CO alarm should provide you with years of dependable

service.
