Smoke and CO Detectors
The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors
throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not
required by building codes or insurance regulations.
It is a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living
areas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector
manufactures placement and installation instructions and
maintain regularly.
You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the
immediate vicinity of the stove. Depending on the sensitivity
of the unit, the alarm can be set off while you are tending
thereoremptyingtheashes.Ifyouinstalladetectorinthe
same room, locate it as far away from the stove as possible.
