WHERE NOT TO INSTALL 

 

YOUR CO ALARM

 

DO NOT locate this CO Alarm:

 

• In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, 

or in any extremely dusty, dirty or 
greasy areas.

• Closer than 20 feet away from a furnace 

or other fuel burning heat source, or fuel 
burning appliances like a water heater.

• Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance.
• 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.
• In outlets covered by curtains or 

other obstruction.

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.
