FAQ — Quick Answers
Q: Where should I place a plug-in CO detector?
A: Near bedrooms and common sleeping areas, and on each level of the home. Avoid placing directly above stoves or in very humid locations.
Q: How often should I test it?
A: Test weekly using the Test button; change batteries as recommended.
Q: Can it detect natural gas leaks?
A: No — CO detectors detect carbon monoxide, not natural gas (methane). Use a combustible gas detector for gas leaks.
