Kidde KN-COB-B - Manual (Page 13)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
How many CO alarms do I need?
A.
There is no formula for determining how many CO
alarms you will need. It all depends on the layout of your home,
how many bedrooms you have, where the heat sources are,
and where the fuel-burning appliances are located. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends
installing at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible
warning signal near the sleeping area. The International
Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) also recommends UL listed
carbon monoxide alarms – on every level of the home and in
areas near appliances that are potential sources of CO.
Q.
Do I have to press the test button to get a CO reading ?
A.
No. Your Kidde CO alarm continuously monitors the air
for carbon monoxide. The CO alarm will alert you to the pres-
ence of CO automatically. To test the internal components and cir-
cuitry of your CO alarm, press the test/reset button.
