Install the carbon monoxide alarm in the bedrooms or common activity places, or places where you think may generate or leak carbon monoxide. It’s suggested to install at least one alarm in each floor of a multistory building to ensure everyone can hear the alarm in sleeping. Ideally, it is advisable to install an alarm in every room that has a fuel-use appliance.
However, if there are more than one burning appliances and the number of detectors are limited, the following points need to be considered when determining the location:
•If the bedroom has a burning appliance, you need to install an carbon monoxide leak alarm in the bedroom;
•If there is a chimney-free or common flue gas appliance in the room, an carbon monoxide detector must be installed in the room;
•If there is an electric appliance in a more-used room, such as a living room, a CO carbon monoxide detector needs to be installed in the room;
•In a bedroom and living room, the carbon monoxide fire alarm should be as far away from cooking appliances and sleeping areas as possible;
•If the appliance is in an infrequent room, such as a boiler room, the carbon monoxide detector alarm needs to be installed outside the room so that the alarm sound can be heard easily.
