WARNING
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor residential areas. It is
not designed to measure compliance with commercial and industrial standards.
This device is designed to protect individuals from acute effects of of car-
bon monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with specif-
ic medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical practitioner. Individuals
with medical problems may consider using warning devices, which provide
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.
Medium levels: generally above 100 ppm, with no one experiencing
symptoms. This should be treated as an urgent situation. Follow
the instructions on page 17.
Mid levels: generally between 50 ppm to 100 ppm. This should
be cause for concern and should not be ignored or dismissed.
Follow the instructions on page 17.
Mild levels: generally below 50 ppm. This indicates a need to
watch the situation closely. Kidde recommends you take action
to eliminate the source of CO if possible.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term expo-
sures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term
exposures to high levels. This Kidde unit has a time-weighted
alarm - the higher the level of carbon monoxide present, the sooner
the alarm will be triggered.
This CO alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does
not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO
problem. If your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventila-
tion by leaving your windows and doors open, the CO buildup
may have dissipated by the time help responds. Although your
problem may appear to be temporarily solved, it’s crucial that
the source of the CO is determined and that the appropriate
repairs are made.
