1. POSITIONING
• If your home has only one floor, for minimum protection, it is recommended you install a detector in each be-
droom, in the living room and one near the boiler.
• If your home has more than one floor, for minimum protection, it is recommended you install a detector in each
bedroom or in the corridor leading to the bedrooms. Do not install the detector in the kitchen. The device should
be positioned about 1.80m from the floor; it should not be placed too high.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas, its density is similar to that of air. The detector should be
installed:
• Out of reach of children
• At a horizontal distance of between 1 and 3 metres from any appliance that could generate carbon monoxide,
without masking its openings to allow air to circulate in the housing.
• At an eye-level position in order to easily check the red and green indicator lights and the digital display.
Ideally, a detector should be installed in each room containing a potential source of carbon monoxide:
• Fireplace in the living room or dining room, boiler or water heater (laundry room, etc.)
• For a room in which the occupants spend a lot of their time.
• In a studio apartment, install a detector as far away from the cooker as possible but next to where you sleep.
To avoid the device being set off accidentally. Areas to avoid are:
• Rooms where the temperature can fall below -10°C or rise above +45°C,
• Rooms that are closed or behind a curtain, for example, in the immediate vicinity of a door or window,
• Humid rooms (bathroom, garage),
• Directly above a sink or near a cooking appliance,
• Dusty, greasy environments where dirt could clog the sensor.
This alarm can rapidly warn you if carbon monoxide is present, but it does not prevent toxic carbon monoxide
emissions.
