Recommended Installation Locations
CO alarms should be mounted in or
near bedrooms and living areas. It is
recommended that you install a
Kidde CO alarm on each level of
your home.
When choosing your installation
locations, make sure you can hear
the alarm from all sleeping areas. If
you install only one CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms,
not in the basement or furnace room.
• When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no cir-
cumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
• Placing the alarm at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the
digital display.

Locations To Avoid
IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com-
ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose
the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F
(4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics,
porches and garages.
• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde
recommends 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms).
• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air
ventilation openings.
• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly
exposed to the weather.
• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide
early warning.
• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti-
mum performance.
• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the
alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to
the vents.
