each floor of your home to ensure your safety. It
should be located away from the gas appliance

detector manufacturer’s placement installation
and maintenance instructions. Your local Fire
Department may provide assistance in selecting
smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
It is strongly recommended, for your family’s
protection, that a carbon monoxide detector be
placed in all homes that utilize gas in any form.

Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
Exercise extreme caution when using ladders
or when on rooftops.
Be aware of electric wiring locations in walls
