Kidde KN-COSM-B Carbon Monoxide Alarm User Manual


 
Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights,
electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place in
direct sunlight and keep out of insect infested areas.
Extreme temperatures will effect the sensitivity of the
Smoke/CO Alarm. Do not install in areas where the tem-
perature is colder than 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius)
or hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), such
as garages and unfinished attics. Do not install in areas
where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away
from doors and windows that open to the outside.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards
unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluat-
ed and found suitable for that purpose.

er on the label. See Alarm Replacement section for addi-
tional information.
