Locations To Avoid

IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic com- ponents in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose

the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F

(4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics,

porches and garages.

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde

recommends 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms).

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air

ventilation openings.

• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly

exposed to the weather.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or

gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide

early warning.

• Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries

have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than opti-

mum performance.

CO alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas. It is recommended that you install a Kidde CO alarm on each level of your home.

• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the

alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to

the vents.

When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If

you install only one CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

•When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no cir- cumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.

•Placing the alarm at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the digital display.
