• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance
alarms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the fol-
lowing: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing
a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cool-
ing, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow
areas.
• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a
kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature
or be a photoelectric type.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance
alarms.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless
the combination (alarm and guard) have been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.
