THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE
PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72
(National Fire Protection Association,

B. Where Not to Install:
Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms
or bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY
FROM ANY FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
Do not install within 3 ft (.9m) of the following:The
door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or
shower, forced air ducts used for heating or cooling,
ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air
flow areas.Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
Dust, grease or household chemicals can contaminate
the alarm’s sensors, causing it to not operate properly.
Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not
block the sensor. Smoke and CO must be able to reach
the sensors to accurately detect these conditions. Do
not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings,“A” frame ceilings
or gabled roofs. Keep out of damp and humid areas.
Mobile Homes:
Mobile homes built within the last five to seven years
are designed to be energy efficient. Install Smoke/CO
alarms as recommended above. (Refer to Recommended
Installation Instructions and Diagram A) In mobile
homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold
can be transferred from the outside to the inside
through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may cause
a thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke from reach-
ing an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such mobile
homes install your Smoke/CO Alarm on an inside wall
with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4 inches
(10cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30.5cm) below
the ceiling. (See Diagram A) If you are not sure about the
insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that
the outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install
your alarm on an inside wall
ONLY!
