How to Install Your Alarm
Your Kidde CO and Gas alarm with its removable adapter allows you to
install the alarm as a wall mounted unit, a direct plug unit, or as a table
top unit.
Direct Plug Alarm
In its “as shipped” configuration, all you need
to do is install the 9V backup battery and your
Kidde CO and Gas alarm is ready to be plugged
directly into a wall socket.
To install:
1. Choose a standard 120V unswitched outlet
to plug the alarm into.
2. Pull the slide support out approximately 1/4”
until the slide snaps into place. This will
help support unit in the wall outlet.
3. Plug the alarm into the outlet.
If the outlet is mounted horizontally (sideways):
If you are going to use your alarm as a direct plug and you are going to
plug in to an outlet that is mounted horizontally (sideways), you will
need to rotate the adapter 90˚.
To rotate the adapter:
1. Remove back door by sliding it down and out.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or
gabled roofs, where CO or gas 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.
• Do not install on a switched or dimmer-controlled outlet.
