The Kidde P3010K-CO is a 10-year worry-free combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm specifically designed for use in the kitchen. It is considered Worry-Free because it has a 10 year sealed lithium ion battery that will never have to be changed for the life of the detector. This combo detector will last 10 years and an audible alarm will chirp every 30 seconds when it needs to be replaced. Battery replacement and accidental deactivation is no longer an issue.
This Kidde alarm is battery operated only and does not require external power connections, it features a simple and quick installation. Just install the mounting bracket on the wall or ceiling and attache the alarm. Once attached, the detector activates the sealed battery and it begins operation. This photo-carbon combo detector maintenance free and has no serviceable parts to worry about.
The K in the Kidde P3010 Series stands for ‘Kitchen’ because this unit is designed to detect smoke using photoelectric technology which will reduce false alarms caused by cooking, and Carbon Monoxide detection because the kitchen is where several potential sources of CO are located. Although this detector is listed for use in a kitchen, it is also recommended for use in hallways and basements.
