B. Where Not to Install:
Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms or bath-
rooms! 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 ares. Avoid excessively
dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or household chemi-
cals can contaminate the alarm's sensors, causing it to not
operate properly.
Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block the
sensor. Smoke and CO must be able to reach the sensors to
accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of
vaulted ceilings, "A" frame ceilings or gabled roofs. Keep out
of damp and humid areas.
Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights, elec-
tronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place in direct
sunlight and keep out of insect infested areas. Extreme temper-
atures will effect the sensitivity of the Smoke/CO Alarm. Do not
install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40 degrees
Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius) or hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit
(37.8 Celsius), such as garages and unfinished attics. Do not
install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85%.
