Do I have to press the test button to get a CO reading?

How many CO alarms do I need?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

A. There is no formula for determining how many CO alarms 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) recommends installing at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible warning signal near the sleeping area. The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) also recommends UL listed carbon monoxide alarms – on every level of the home and in areas near appliances that are potential sources of CO.

Q.

A. No. Your Kidde CO alarm continuously monitors the air for carbon monoxide. The CO alarm will alert you to the pres- ence of CO automatically. To test the internal components and cir- cuitry of your CO alarm, press the test/reset button.
