F requently Asked Questions
Q.
How many CO alarms do I need?
A.
T h e re is no formula for determining how many CO
a l a rms you will need. It all depends on the layout of your home,
how many bedrooms you have, where the heat sources are ,
and where the fuel-burning appliances are located. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) re c o m m e n d s
installing at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible
w a rning signal near the sleeping area.
Q.
Do I have to press the test button to get a CO re a d i n g
?
A.
No. Your Kidde CO alarm continuously monitors the air
for carbon monoxide. The CO alarm will alert you to the pre s-
ence of CO automatically. To test the internal components and cir-
c u i t ry of your CO alarm, press the test/reset button.
