2. PLACES TO BE AVOIDED
- in each room (1 for 50 m²), except in the kitchen
and the bathroom (refer to paragraph 2: Places to Do not install the smoke detector:
be avoided)
 Outside  In a place where the alarm will be difficult to hear (room with closed door)  In a place where the detector
will be difficult to reach, in particular to perform tests  In a place where the temperature is lower than 4°C or higher than
45°C  In a place where humidity is less than 10% or exceeds 95% (bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, etc.)  In a place
subject to high and/or rapid temperature, pressure or humidity variations  In a place where the sunlight hits directly on the
detector  In a dusty or dirty area (garage, workshop, etc.)  In a place where there are a lot of insects  In a place where
spurious smoke may disturb the smoke detector: kitchen, chimney, garage (exhaust gas), furnaces, boiler rooms, combustion
radiators, etc.  Close to heating appliances, windows, ventilation ducts, air conditioners, fans or any other item of equipment
that may produce air flows  Close to an area that is hotter or cooler than the rest of the room (non-insulated walls, hatches,
