Locate your device

Potential sources of carbon monoxide are wood-burning stoves, gas boilers and fires, gas hobs, oil and coal-burning appliances, portable gas heaters, barbecues etc.

Where to install an apparatus?

• Ideally: in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance and
  additional apparatuses:

  • In every bedroom
  • In every room where much tme is spent and the alarm sound from other apparatuses may not be heard

• If the number of available apparatuses is limited, then choose
  for the room where:

  • A flueless or open-flued appliance is located
  • Where you spend the most tme

• In case of bedsit (single room serving as both sitng room and bedroom): locate the apparatus as far as possible from the cooking appliances and near the sleeping area.

• In rooms with a fuel-burning appliance:

  • Between 1-3 m distance away from the potential source
  • If there is a partition in the room: at the same side of the partition as the potential source
  • On the wall:
  1. Close to the ceiling, but at least 150 mm from the ceiling
  2. Higher than the height of any door/window

• In rooms without a fuel-burning appliance (such as sleeping rooms/hallways:

  • Relatively close to the breathing zones of occupants

Where not to install an apparatus
In an enclosed space (in a cupboard/behind a curtain). Where it can be obstructed (by for example furniture). Directly above a sink. Next to door/window. Next to an extractor fan. Next to an air vent / similar ventilation openings. In areas where temperature get <-10 / >40 degrees. In areas where dirt/dust may block the sensor. In a damp/ humid locaon. In the immediate vicinity of cooking appliances. On a location where light indicator may not be visible anymore
