Will a smoky stove set off a carbon monoxide detector?




sarah


my carbon monoxide detector went to 101 after i cooked and something was smoking on the stove for a second. the alarm on the detector never went off but i noticed the number showing up. i opened the windows and all and it finally went to 0. i have a gas heater as well.

I was snding a wooden door to fix and my carbon dio9x monitor went off, I turned my vac cleaner on another day and the seal wasnt to good and some dust came out and the carc diox monitoe went off. I think anything that causes a lack of oxigen will set them off.

will leaving a gas stove on for long time cause carbon monoxide detector to go off?

Answer
Though a proper burning natural gas flame does not produce CO, for some reason, many ovens are an exception. Perhaps because they usually have a flame spreader which the flame impinges on. So yes. That is why it is not wise to use your oven or top burners for heat. Most don't vent outside either. So not only does it put products of combustion into the room, it also is burning up the oxygen.
