Installation

Do Not Install Smoke Alarm Devices In The Following Places:

1:Near appliances or areas where normal combustion 
   regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water 
   heaters). 

2:In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas 
    near dishwashers or washing machines. Install al least 
    3 meters away from these areas.
3:Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
   Install at least 0.9 meter away from these areas. The air 
   could blow smoke away from the detector.
4:In rooms where temperatures may fall below 5℃ or rise
   above 40℃, or in humidity higher than 85%. These
   conditions will reduce battery life or cause an alarm fault.
5:In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect–infested areas.
  These areas may affect smoke alarms device operation.

N.B. - 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.
