This gas alarm is designed to act as a continuous monitor
of natural gas that reaches the sensor. This gas alarm
should not be used as a short-term testing device to
perform a onetime check for the presence of natural gas, as
starting the device in the presence of natural gas may
cause an explosion.

WARNING
•
Installation in an improper location can affect
the sensitive electronic components in this
device.
•
Improper placement can prevent detection of
natural gas.
•
Improper placement can prevent you from
hearing the alarm. Install in a location where you
can hear the alarm sound loudly from all
sleeping areas.
•
Place out of reach of children. Under no
circumstances should children be allowed to
handle this device.
Gas alarms should be installed in all rooms where a gas
leak may occur or a gas appliance is located. Examples are
a kitchen (gas leaks from gas ovens and cook tops),
laundry (gas leaks from a gas clothes dryer), and furnace
area (gas leaks from furnace burners or boilers).
It is possible that gas leaks may migrate along pipes so
consideration should be given to place gas alarms in
multiple rooms. Consider placing a gas alarm in each
bedroom where the occupant closes the door while
sleeping.
Although it is important to install gas alarms in rooms
were gas appliances exist, it is recommended the gas alarm
be placed as far from these appliances as possible,
preferably more than 10 feet (3 meters) away. The
placement recommendations are intended to keep these
gas alarms at a reasonable distance from a gas source, and
thus reduce “unwanted” alarms, which can occur if a gas
alarm is placed directly next to a gas source.
Avoid placing the gas alarm near a cooking appliance or
cooktop hood. If you must do so, install at least 5 feet (1.5
meters) from cooking appliance or cooktop hood because
cooking vapors or grease may contaminate the gas alarm.
Product should be installed:
• Between 4 to 12 inches (0.1 to 0.3 meters) from the
ceiling.
• In an area where it will not be impeded by items
hanging from or near the ceiling such as curtains,
drapes, ceiling fans.
• At least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from cooking appliance or
cooktop hood.
• At least 10 feet (3 meters) from gas appliances.
Product should NOT be installed:
• In the peak of a cathedral ceiling.
• Directly above or near sources of water or humidity
such as a sink, cooktop, dishwasher or shower.
• Next to a door or window.
• Next to a ventilation fan.
• Near a room return or HVAC duct.
• In an area where the temperature will drop below 32°F
(0°C) or exceed 122°F (50°C).
• In an area that is dusty or dirty.
• In an area where organic solvents exist.
• In a damp or very humid location, such as a bathroom.
• Outside.
