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 Recommended Locations home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room. • When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm. Locations To Avoid IMPORTANT: Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components 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 optimum performance. • 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. • Do not install on a switched or dimmer-controlled outlet. 6.
