4.WHERE TO PLACE CO ALARMS

3.1Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Alarm should be installed in:

-Every room containing a fuel burning appliance, and

-Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time

-Every bedroom.

However if the number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms is limited the following points should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s)

-If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room and

-Locate a CO alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance, and

-Locate an alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time (e.g. sitting room) and

-In a bedsit, the CO alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance as possible, but near to where the person sleeps and

-If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO alarm should be placed just outside the room so that the alarm will be heard more easily.

3.2 Unsuitable Locations

Do not place the CO Alarm in any of the following areas.

(1)In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 1 metre horizontally from it).
