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 supply 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 the alarm to not operate properly.
Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block
the sensors. Smoke and CO must be able to reach the sen-
sors to accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in
peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame ceilings or gabled
roofs (see figure 2). Keep out of damp and humid areas.
Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights,
electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place in
direct sunlight and keep out of insect infested areas.
Extreme temperatures will effect the sensitivity of the
Smoke/CO Alarm. Do not install in areas where the temper-
ature is colder than 40º Fahrenheit (4.4º Celsius) or hotter
than 100º Fahrenheit (37.8º Celsius), such as garages and
unfinished attics. Do not install in areas where the relative
humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away from doors and
windows that open to the outside.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards
unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluat-
ed and found suitable for that purpose.
