Installation
Do NOT install smoke alarms in following places:
• Near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchen, near
furnaces, hot water heaters). Use specialized smoke alarm with alarm control for
unwanted alarm trigger for these areas.
• In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing
machines. Install at least 10 feet away from these areas.
• Near air exhausts or heating and cooling supply vents. Install at least 3 feet away
from these areas. The vents could blow the smoke away from the smoke alarm
interrupting its function.
• In rooms where temperatures may fall below -10°C or rise above 40°C.
• In extremely dirty, dusty or insect infesting areas. These small particles may interfere
with the smoke detectors alarm operation.
The best places to install the smoke alarm:
• At first install a unit in the bedroom and hallway. If you have several bedrooms, install an
alarm in each room.
• Install an alarm in the stairway and on every floor.
• Smoke, heat and burning things will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so
install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling and make sure all areas are covered.
• If the smoke alarm cannot be installed in the middle of the ceiling, the distance
between the closest wall and the alarm should be 10 cm.
• If the length of the room or the hallway is larger than 30 feet, you must install several
smoke alarms.
