I’m not a CO expert (am a fire detector expert) but I know that CO diffuses well (ie moves around like a bad smell), and I also know that electrochemical CO cells will have their lifetime shortened by very high or very low humidity. So working down that list of guidelines, the conclusion is to stick it outside the bathroom. I wouldn’t stick it directly in front of the door either to avoid humidity, more like the centre of the room outside the bathroom.
Again, no expert, but ‘interlinked’ means using domestic interlinked detectors, which is not nearly as bad as fire detection for HMOs which require a full blown EN54 smoke detector system with control panel and fire rated cabling.
Edit: yes, def ask the manufacturer. If they’re good they’ll have a tech support team to answer the phone.
