- In a bedsit, the CO Alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking
appliance as possible, but near to where the person sleeps
- If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO Alarm
should be placed just outside the room so that the Alarm will be heard more easily.
