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.
