•  Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitch-

en 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) has been evaluated and 
found suitable for that purpose.
