Keep bedroom emergency exits clear, as these
rooms are commonly furthest away from outdoor
exits.
+ If bedrooms are located in more than one section
of the house, use additional smoke alarms
accordingly.
+ In stairways, install the smoke alarm at the top
of the stairs as a chimney effect often occurs,
rapidly drawing smoke into the upper floors. ®
« For your personal safety, it is best to mount a
smoke alarm on every floor of the building.
« Install smoke alarms in rooms where people
smoke, where electrical devices are located or
where open fires (fireplaces, candles) are present.
+ Ensure when mounting that the smoke alarm is
positioned at least 50 cm from side walls and
60 cm from corners (see Figure 1).
4. Unsuitable Mounting Locations
+ Kitchen — kitchen vapours can inadvertently
trigger the alarm.
e Garage — combustion by-products and exhaust
fumes are produced when a vehicle is started.
e Close to heaters or air conditioners.
+ At the highest point of pitched roofs (the attic).
+ In rooms where temperatures fall below 5 °C or
rise above 40 °C.
« Do not mount a smoke alarm on the ceilings of
trailers or similar areas. In such areas, sunlight
heats the air quickly, which can prevent any smoke
from penetrating and triggering the smoke alarm.
