1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Kidde Combinaon Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide

alarm with a 10-year sealed-in baery.

Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this user guide which should be saved for future

reference. Teach children how to respond to the alarms, and ensure that they don’t ever play

with this unit.

IMPORTANT: Addional markings on back of the unit.

Your alarm was designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide from any source of

combuson in a residenal environment. It is not tested for use in a caravan or boat.

This apparatus is NOT a substute for maintenance of fuel burning appliances and venng

/exhaust systems.

If you have any quesons about the operaon or installaon of your alarm, please call our

Freephone Consumer Hotline on 0800 917 0722- between 9am - 5pm Mon - Fri.

This apparatus is to be installed by a competent person.

2534-7222-02_BP_(WFPCO)_UK_1F_ k.qxp:_ 2020.4.16 3:02 PM Page 2

2. SMOKE ALARM BEST PRACTISE

A smoke alarm paern is 3 long beeps, repeated every 1.5 seconds.

At all mes and before installing your smoke alarm you must;

• Have an escape plan with alternate exits

• Train your family in this escape plan and pracse it regularly

• Ensure your family know what the alarm sounds like

If the alarm sounds, check for res rst of all, and if one is discovered then;

• DO Alert small children

• DO Exit the home according to your escape plan

• DO Crawl if the smoke is dense, using a damp cloth to breathe through

• DO Call the re brigade from a neighbour’s home

• DO Ensure that everyone is awake, and assistance is given to those who require it

• DON’T stop to dress or retrieve valuables

• DON’T open doors that are warm, or through which smoke is seeping

NOTE – Situaons where a smoke alarm might not be eﬀecve;

• Smoking in bed

• Leaving children unaended

• Cleaning with ﬂammable liquids resulng in explosive vapour.

3. IMPORTANT SMOKE ALARM INFORMATION

• Before temporarily silencing the alarm with the Hush buon, idenfy the source of the smoke.

• Smoke alarms need to be tested regularly

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke cannot reach them

• Fires in chimneys, walls, roofs, diﬀerent levels or behind closed doors might not be detected

• For the physically or mentally impaired, or very young, escape may be diﬃcult and so

alternave escape strategies should be adopted

• The smoke alarm may not wake heavy sleepers or those impaired by the use of drugs or

alcohol. In this case an alarm should be ed in each sleeping area

• Smoke alarms can save lives, but they are not an alternave for an adequate insurance policy

to protect lives and property

Leading authories recommend that both ionisaon and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to

help insure maximum detecon of the various types of ﬁres that can occur within the home.

Ionisaon sensing alarms may detect invisible ﬁre parcles (associated with fast aming ﬁres)

sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible ﬁre parcles

(associated with slow smoldering ﬁres) sooner than ionisaon alarms.

2534-7222-02_BP_(WFPCO)_UK_1F_ k.qxp:_ 2020.4.16 3:02 PM Page 4

A CO alarm paern is 4 quick beeps, repeated every 5 seconds.

WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarm acvaon indicates the presence of CO at high

concentraons which can kill you. NOTE: If you recognise any of the symptoms on

page 8 consult your Doctor immediately.

NOTE: Young children, elderly and pets are more suscepble to the dangers of CO.

NOTE: This alarm is designed to detect CO gas. It is not designed to detect other gases

such as natural gas.

NOTE: This alarm is intended for use in ordinary family homes. It is not designed to

measure compliance with occupaonal safety and the HSE.

NOTE: Individuals with certain speciﬁc medical condions may need an alarm that

operates below 30ppm. If this applies consult your Doctor.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all family members are familiar with the symptoms of CO

poisoning and how your alarm works.

4. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARM BEST PRACTISE

2534-7222-02_BP_(WFPCO)_UK_1F_ k.qxp:_ 2020.4.16 3:02 PM Page 5

5. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

WARNING! When this alarm sounds it indicates the presence of CO which can kill you. Based on

recommendaons from EN 50292, follow these steps if alarm sounds (4 loud audible pulses followed

by a pausefor 5 seconds):

1) Keep calm and open all doors and windows. Turn oﬀ all fuel-burning appliances if possible.

Note: it is possible that outdoor condions could in uence domesc CO alarms (bad traﬃc

polluon in cold weather, for example). In these circumstances, the level of indoor CO might

actually increase when doors and windows are opened.

2) If the alarm connues to sound, even aer being reset (where appropriate), then evacuate the

premises, alerng other occupants to the risk. Leave doors and windows open. Do not re-enter

the premises.

3) Get medical help for anyone suﬀering the eﬀects of CO poisoning, and advise that CO inhalaon

is suspected.

4) Call Gas Emergency Services: 0800 111 999, or your local Gas Safe Registered Engineer:

Engineer.

Never restart the source of a CO problem unl it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the

alarm! Pressing the test/reset buon will silence the alarm. If the CO condion that caused the alert

connues, the alarm will reacvate. If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high

levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situaon.

6. WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste, colour or smell.

Potenal Sources o CO

•Wood-burning stoves

•Gas boilers and ﬁres

•Gas Hobs

•Oil and coal burning appliances

•Portable gas heaters

•Blocked ﬂues and chimneys

•Fumes rom integral garages

•Barbecues

•High concentraons o tobacco smoke

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. This alarm is me-weighted – the higher the level of CO,

the sooner it will alarm.

NOTE: The apparatus may respond to brief exhaust gas emissions, for example during the inial

start-up of an appliance. Also, hydrogen acts as an interferent and can arise from some baery

charging acvies and the curing of concrete or cement under certain circumstances. Volale

Organic Compounds (VOCs), e.g. alcohols, which may eventually acvate the alarm, can be

generated from use of damp-prooﬁng materials or other coangs containing alkylalkoxysilanes.

8. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR THIS ALARM

• Locate in each sleeping area / bedroom, parcularly if the room has a fuel burning appli-

ance. Locate 1 to 3 metres from the appliance.

• If installing in the kitchen, locate 1 to 3 metres away from direct cooking areas.

• CO alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be located on the high side of the room.
