5. Remove your old smoke alarm
You may have to twist the alarm to release it
Remove it carefully to avoid damaging your
ceiling or wall Unscrew and remove the back
plate if there is one
6. Install the Nest back plate
Screw the Nest back plate directly into the
wall or ceiling with the Nest screws The Nest
screws are self-tapping so there’s usually no
need to drill pilot holes in plaster, wood and
other relatively soft materials Make sure that
the screws are driven all the way in and are
snug against the back plate
Tip:
Your old smoke alarm might make a loud noise
when you disconnect it
Tip:
All smoke alarms prefer to live in a dust free area,
so remove any dust before you install Nest Protect
