3. Installation Locations
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 2 metres of heating or cooking appliances. (Kidde
recommends 5 metres 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.
