Observe the alarm weekly to make sure the red dot is blink ing, indicating normal operation. If the dot is not blinking, unplug the alarm, then plug it in again. This will clear the alarm for restart. If the dot does Blinking Dot not resume blinking, your alarm may be malfunctioning. To test the alarm, press the Test/Reset button. If the unit is operating properly, you should notice the following: • The display shows three eights , and then shows a number (usually around 200). You will then hear 4 quick beeps – followed by 5 seconds of silence – followed by 4 quick beeps. The unit will then show the three eights for several seconds. It will then return to monitoring for carbon monoxide. Familiarize yourself and household members with the alarm pattern described above. In the event of a CO incident, this pattern will continue to repeat as long as CO is present. NOTE: Pressing the Test/Reset button tests the functions of the alarm’s internal components, circuitry and micro-computer. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRESS THE TEST BUTTON TO TAKE A CO READING. CO readings are automatically shown on the alarm’s digital display. If the alarm shows zero (0), then no measurable amount of CO has been sensed by the alarm within the past 15 seconds. 16 Operation How to Know If Your Alarm is Malfunctioning Your alarm performs an internal self-diagnosis every 15 seconds to make sure that it is functioning properly. The alarm is designed to alert you in the unusual event of a malfunction. If the alarm malfunctions. In the rare event that your alarm malfunctions, it will alert you with one of these signal groups (depending upon the type of malfunction that occurs): Malfunction Signal Group 1 - Component Failure – An intermittent “chirping” alarm will sound every 20 seconds., and – An “Err” message will appear on the digital display OR, Malfunction Signal Group 2 - Microprocessor Failure – The alarm will sound continuously, and – The digital display will be blank, and – The alarm cannot be shut off by pushing the “Test/Reset” button Unplug the alarm immediately and return for warranty exchange (see “Warranty” on back page). What to do if you’re not sure... PLEASE familiarize yourself with the malfunction alert, and do not confuse these signals with an alarm. After reading the information above, if you are still unsure whether your alarm is operating properly,call the Kidde toll-free consumer hotline at 1-800-8806788 to do a quick diagnostic check of the alarm over the phone. The customer service representative will be able to assist you and answer your questions. Never ignore a CO alarm. Atrue alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. CO alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of carbon monoxide before an emergency, before most people would experience symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, allowing time to resolve the problem calmly. 17 Operation How to Care for Your Alarm To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these simple steps: WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: • Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button (see page 5). • 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. WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO: • 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 furniture, 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 contamination of the sensor. You may wish to unplug the alarm and store it 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, and sulfur dioxides. Also most aerosol spray, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, solvent, adhesives, hair spray, aftershave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start) and some cleaning agents. Operation Peak Level Memory The peak level feature is helpful in identifying CO occurrences below 30 PPM. Although the unit will not automatically display levels below 30 PPM, it will detect and store these readings in memory. By pres...
