  • Page 6 4. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED IN THE HOME? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various home appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and space heaters are the major cause of high CO levels in the home.

  • Page 7: Recommended Location Of Alarms

    RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of "at least one CO alarm per household located outside each sleeping area." (See diagrams "A" and “B”). CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the home, but because most CO poisoning cases occur while people are sleeping, the best location for the CO alarm is near the sleeping area in the home.

  • Page 8: Locations To Avoid

    6. LOCATIONS TO AVOID NEAR THE COOKING AREA: Do not install the alarm within five feet of cooking appliances. CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause nuisance alarms. Also, cooking grease can build up on the alarm and cause alarm failure. WITHIN FIVE FEET OF A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, OR SPACE HEATER: These devices often spill out small amounts of CO when they first turn on.
