The law requires a smoke alarm on every floor and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room
containing a fuel burning appliance.
The Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm should be installed:
• On every floor (required by law for smoke alarms).
• In every room containing a fuel burning appliance (recommended for CO alarms).
• In every sleeping room.
• In remote rooms that are used often but which may be too far away to hear an alarm.
• Outside of unused rooms, like the boiler room.
If you’d like, you can install Nest Protect closer to cooking appliances than conventional smoke
alarms, but we recommend it be at least 3 metres (10 feet) from cooker hobs or cooking appliances.
The smoke and carbon monoxide alarm should be at a horizontal distance of between 1 metre to
3 metres from the potential fuel-burning source of carbon monoxide.
Nest Protect should NOT be installed in unfinished attics or garages.
