Frequently Asked Questions - K5CO KIDDE
How do I install the Kidde K5CO smoke alarm?
Choose a ceiling or wall location away from drafts and corners. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark holes. Drill holes, insert anchors, and screw the bracket in place. Twist the alarm onto the bracket until it locks.
How do I test the smoke alarm?
Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds (3-5 seconds). The alarm will emit a loud beep. Release the button. Test weekly.
What does a single chirp every minute mean?
A single chirp every minute indicates a low battery. However, for the K5CO, the battery is sealed and non-replaceable, so this means the entire unit must be replaced within 30 days.
What does two chirps every 30 seconds mean?
Two chirps every 30 seconds indicates end-of-life. The alarm has reached its 10-year lifespan and must be replaced immediately.
How do I silence a false alarm?
Press the test/silence button to temporarily silence the alarm for approximately 8-10 minutes. The alarm will automatically reset after that period if the smoke clears.
Where should I install the smoke alarm?
Install at least 10 feet from cooking appliances, 3 feet from bathroom doors, and on every level of your home. Avoid near windows, fans, or ducts where air drafts affect detection.
Can I replace the battery in the K5CO?
No, the K5CO features a sealed 10-year lithium battery that cannot be replaced. When the battery depletes or the unit reaches end-of-life, replace the entire alarm.
How do I clean the smoke alarm?
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently clean the vents around the alarm. Do not use water, cleaners, or solvents. Clean monthly.
What to do if the alarm chirps constantly?
Constant chirping (more than once per minute) may indicate a malfunction. Try cleaning the alarm. If chirping persists, replace the unit immediately.
Does the K5CO detect carbon monoxide?
No, the K5CO is a smoke-only alarm. For carbon monoxide detection, consider Kidde models with CO detection such as the KN-COB-B or KN-COPP-B.
