GB
The appliance does not remove carbon monoxide (CO) or radon (Rn). It cannot be used a safety
device in case of accidents with combustion processes and hazardous chemicals.
The CO Monitor function is not to be used as, nor implied to be used as a substitute for an EN
50291-1 UL-2034, CSA-6.19 or any other recognized standard certified carbon monoxide alarm
where Local or Regional Codes or legislation mandate their use. The CO Monitor function is
a supplemental carbon monoxide monitoring device only. Use of this device is at the user's
discretion and implies the understanding and acceptance of its limitations to adhere to codes or
legislation where applicable.
Do not place the appliance in any of the following locations:
• In a bathroom or other areas where the Alarm may be exposed to water splashes, dripping or
condensation (e.g. above an electric kettle).
• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, doors, windows, extractor fans or
anywhere that it would be affected by draughts.
• Directly above a sink or cooker.
• In an area where the temperature could drop below –20°C or rise above 50°C.
• In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard).
• In a damp or humid area.
• Where it would be obstructed, e.g. by curtains or furniture.
• Where dirt or dust could block the sensor.
• Near paint, thinners, solvent fumes or air fresheners.
If CO alarm is activated, you should open all windows and doors (if safe to do so). Turn off all
fuel burning appliances if possible and then evacuate the property leaving the windows and
doors open. Get immediate medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Do not re-enter the property until the alarm stops. The alarm will stop once the CO
has cleared. Do not use fuel burning appliances again until the CO source has been located
and rectified by a qualified technician.
To activate the CO monitor, connect the plug to a socket outlet. The CO Sensor Condition Lamp
will display green. When the CO monitor detects unsafe level of CO, the CO alarm will ring
loudly and the CO Alert button and O ring lamp will blink in red colour. The alarm will continue
to indicate until the detected CO reduces to a safe level.
Avoid using paint, thinners, solvent fumes, air fresheners, aerosol sprays or chemical cleaners
near the appliance. This may affect functioning of CO monitor.
Do not allow small children to press the CO Alert button for 3 seconds as they could be subject
to excessive noise when the alarm rings.
Touch [CO Alert] button for 3 seconds to test the CO Alarm function and the alarm will ring
loudly for 5 seconds. Test the alarm monthly and after prolonged absence from the building
(Eg Holidays). If the alarm fails to ring after touching the [CO Alert] button for 3 seconds, please
contact the Hoover customer care centre to arrange a qualified technician to repair the fault.
If the display indicates that the CO sensor is faulty or end of life has been reached, please
contact the Hoover customer care centre to arrange a qualified technician to replace the CO
sensor. The expected lifetime of the CO sensor is 5 years and must be replaced after this time.
Operating Humidity:
Operating Temperature: 0°C to + 40°C
When the detected level of CO reaches a high level, the [CO Alert] button and the [Air Quality
LED Ring] blink in red color (2Hz), at the same time, alarm rings loudly (85~110dB(A)) and
continuously, the alarm will not stop until the intensity of CO falls back from the alarm level.
Carbon Monoxide affects the body by starving (suffocating) critical organs of oxygen.
When CO is inhaled it attaches to the hemoglobin in the blood that normally carries oxygen
throughout the body. CO permanently displaces the ability for oxygen molecules to attach
to the hemoglobin, thus reducing oxygen to vital organs. The concentration level and time
exposed to CO can vary its effects on the body, but experts agree even low levels of carbon
monoxide exposure over prolonged periods can have serious and lasting affects to anyone's
overall health.
