Where to Install Your CO Alarm
Your Kidde CO alarm should be mounted in or near bedrooms and
living areas. It is recommended that you install a Kidde CO alarm on
each level of a multi-level home. You may use the number and loca-
tion of smoke alarms installed in your home according to current
building code requirements as a guide to the location of your Kidde
CO alarm(s).
WHEN CHOOSING YOUR INSTALLATION LOCATIONS, MAKE
SURE YOU CAN HEAR THE ALARM FROM ALL SLEEPING AREAS.
IF YOU INSTALL ONLY ONE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IN
YOUR HOME, INSTALL THE ALARM NEAR BEDROOMS, NOT IN
THE BASEMENT OR FURNACE ROOM.
Two labels have been provided. Add the phone number of your
Emergency Service provider in the space provided on the labels.
Place one label next to the alarm and the other one near a fresh
air source such as a door or window.
Seven (7) years after initial power up, this unit will “chirp”
every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the
alarm. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY! IT WILL NOT DETECT CO IN
THIS CONDITION.
To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has
been affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace
by” date (7 years from power up) in permanent marker on
the label.
CAUTION: This CO alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other
areas.
IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electron-
ic components in this CO alarm. Please see the next section
describing where NOT to install this CO alarm.
