WHERE NOT TO INSTALL
CO ALARMS
DO NOT locate this CO alarm:
• In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms,
or in any extremely dusty, dirty or
greasy areas.
• Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance.
The alarm should be between 5 and 20
feet from any cooking appliance.
• Closer than 20 feet from a furnace or other
fuel burning heat source, or fuel burning
appliances like a water heater.
• In extremely humid areas. This alarm
should be at least 10 feet from a bath
or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer,
dishwasher, laundry room, utility room
or other source of high humidity.
• In areas where temperature is colder than
40˚F (4˚C) or hotter than 100˚F (38˚C).
These areas include unconditioned crawl
spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or
poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and
garages.
• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans,
heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air
returns, or open windows. Blowing air may
prevent CO from reaching the sensors.
• In direct sunlight.
WARNING!
This CO alarm is designed for use inside a
single-family home or apartment. It is not
meant to be used in common lobbies,
hallways, or basements of multi-family
buildings unless working CO alarms are also
installed in each family living unit. CO alarms
in common areas may not be heard from
inside individual family living units.
WARNING!
This CO alarm alone is not a suitable
substitute for complete detection systems in
places which house many people, like hotels
or dormitories, unless a CO alarm is also
placed in each unit.
WARNING!
DO NOT use this CO alarm in warehouses,
industrial or commercial buildings, special-
purpose non-residential buildings, RVs, boats,
or airplanes. This CO alarm is specifically
designed for residential use, and may not
provide adequate protection in non-
residential applications.
