(1.5m) of kitchen appliances. The by-
products of cooking food can effect the
performance of the CO alarm.

Exhaust gases from idling vehicles in an
open or closed garage can trigger the CO

the normal ambient temperature can go
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 100°F (38°C)
Utility and Furnace Rooms. Do not
install close to equipment that can create
steam and gas. Steam and exhaust gases
