Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.

The CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, butane) or other combustible gases. Fit combustion gas alarms to detect these.

WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.

9. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY

-Staining, sooting or discolouration on or around appliances.

-A pilot light frequently going out.

-A strange smell when an appliance is working.

-A naked gas flame which is yellow or orange, instead of the normal blue.

-Family members (including pets) exhibiting the “flu-like” symptoms of CO poisoning described above.

LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS End of LifeProduct Disposal 2 Carbon Monoxide must enter the unit for it to be detected. There may be Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc. but not in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can prevent the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend. CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas 9.
