1. Information About Carbon Monoxide

• CO being present on one level of the home and not reach a CO alarm

installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may
not reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms). 

For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by
placing a CO alarm on every level of the home. Please carefully read all
information on properly installing this CO alarm.

CO alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas
