WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Do NOT locate this smoke/CO alarm:

•In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

•Closer than 20 feet (6 meters) from a fur- nace or other fuel burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater.

•Where combustion particles (formed when something burns) are produced. Avoid poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep this smoke/CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) from sources of combustion particles (stove, vehicle, furnace) whenever possible.

•Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

•In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

•In direct sunlight.

•In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.
