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 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.
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.
