Where Should I Place a Carbon Monoxide Detector?

Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may 
be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 
feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not 
place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing 
appliance. Keep the detector out of the way of pets and children. Each floor 
needs a separate detector. If you getting a single carbon monoxide detector, 
place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to 
wake you up.
