carbon monoxide detector manual image
dreamer236
I was cooking in the kitchen today and I notice the number got up to 9 but the alarm did not go off. I just want to know about these numbers, I have no idea how far the numbers go. I thank you for your help.
Answer
If you can't find the manual, try looking up your model on the internet. The numbers *may* indicate parts per million of CO detected. It takes 1000ppm to cause unconsciousness in an hour, so 9ppm isn't good, but it is considered "normal" background CO.

Can cleaners set of a gas detector?
Leigh
I was cleaning in my bathroom that is attached to my bedroom and the gas/carbon monoxide detector went off saying that it was detecting gas. When I hit the reset button it didn't go off again and according to the instruction manual it would continue to go off if gas was present. I was using Mr. Clean orange scented at the time. Has anyone heard of this happening?

I had the same problem in a fifth wheel a few years ago using hair spray in the bathroom , the technician that came over to check the system told me that those detector are very sensitive and that any kind of strong fumes or chemical mist in the air will in fact set them off , my bathroom was adjacent to my bedroom and closing the door between the two rooms solved the problem for me.
