1.
Installing a CO alarm in a room with a fuel-burning appliance (see Figure 1):
•If it is mounted on a wall, it should be installed at a height greater than the height of
any door or window, but should still be at least 5.9 inches (150 mm) below the
ceiling.
•The CO alarm should have a horizontal distance between 3.3 feet (1 m) and 10 feet
(3 m) from any potential CO source.
•If there is a partition in the room, the CO alarm should be installed on the same side
of the partition as the potential CO source.
