Out of interest (considering all the ******** that has recently been
spouted) I have just had a customer on the phone following a small
kitchen fire.

So this was a grill left on full with the oven/grill glass door closed
and the plastic handle of the grill had melted and set on fire.

It set off the CO detector that I had installed.

Must be an old oven/grill, because our grill shuts down if the door is
closed on it...

Our 3-years old AEG states that the grill door must be closed. Of two
previous ovens, one stated the door must be closed, the other that it
must be open when using the grill.

Interesting. I don't have a CO detector as I'm all-electric but maybe I should think about getting one.

Not if they had asked him to fit the CO detector in the first place.

You would have thought some kind of interlock on the appliance would be in
place to stop that kind of problem.

There are cases where people have died from CO, due
to fumes leaking in from a neighbouring property.

About 5 years old and cost over £400.

That one was not just pushed when I did the AICO installers course:-)
And part of the course was them trying to get you to fit more detectors
than the minimum standard.

JOOI where would you fit one if CO from a neighbours was a risk? I
suppose in my case it would be the landing or hallway.


I fitted this CO in the kitchen as the boiler was in the pantry and it
was not feasible to fit it in the pantry. My logic been that even if the
pantry door was closed, opening the pantry door would soon set the alarm
off in the kitchen if there was enough CO in the pantry.

I went back and downloaded the info from the CO detector.

It registered 200ppm.
