About this product
Carbon monoxide's got no smell, no colour, nothing to warn you it's there. This alarm picks up the gas before it becomes dangerous and gives you time to get out and sort the problem. It'll sit on a shelf or table if you want it freestanding, or you can mount it on the wall or ceiling. Runs on two AA batteries that come in the box, and it'll tell you when the seven-year sensor reaches the end of its life so you know when to replace it.
The alarm works in any room where there's a potential carbon monoxide source, near boilers, gas fires or wood burners. Test button confirms the unit's functioning properly between annual checks. Freestanding or wall-mounted options mean you can position it wherever makes sense for your home. End-of-life warning prevents you running an expired sensor without realising. BSI certified to EN50291-12018 standard for carbon monoxide detection. Batteries included so you can get it working the moment it arrives.
- Test button operation.

- Size H11.9, W7.2, D3.9cm.
- Weight 0.27kg.
- Manufacturer's 7 year guarantee.

Relplacement item
This was bought as a replacement for one that had reached its lifespan It only requires 2 AA batteries which are included and these were easy to install. I just have mine freestanding on a unit beside my boiler.

Life saving device from Argos.
I purchased a carbon monoxide monitor for use next to my multifuel stove which is situated In my living room. Without this device I could die from the invisible fumes from my fire. I'd simply go to sleep and not wake up. The device itself is compact, easy to install and check. Argos even supplied the batteries.

Carbon Monoxide Detector
Super user friendly website and very competitive price made this Carbon Monoxide detector a great replacement for my existing one. Also, loved the fact that the mounting bracket was common with my old model which meant super easy fitting.

Hello Robert,
The Kidde Single Carbon Monoxide Alarm 700/1617 -The supplier advise -Carbon monoxide (CO) and combination alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas, no closer than 20cm from the ceiling. If mounting on a ceiling, please make sure it is at least 20cm away from the wall. Because carbon monoxide is almost the same density as air, it will disperse evenly throughout the air in a room.
We recommend you install a carbon monoxide or combination alarm on each level of a multi-level home. If your home has only one CO or combination alarm, it should be installed in the main bedroom or in the hallway outside of the sleeping areas. Place the alarm at least 1.5m away from fuel-burning appliances. Make sure nothing is covering or obstructing the unit. Do not place the unit in dead air spaces or next to a window or door. CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide alarms will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas of your home
Thank you for using Q and A
