Page 14: Installation Instructions
Recessed mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber, which may prevent the alarm from sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are designed, tested and certified for wall (if applicable) and ceiling surface mount only. Without agency research, we have no fire test data to support that alarms will perform as required when installed in a recessed manner. - Page 15 CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 4, attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling as shown in Figure 8-A. Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the mounting bracket (Use 5mm drill bit for anchors).
- Page 16 Smoke Alarm Tamper Resist Feature This alarm is equipped with a tamper resist feature that helps prevent someone from removing the unit from the mounting bracket. When activated, it can be very effective in preventing smoke alarm removal or tampering. Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking out both small posts in the square hole in the mounting bracket (see Figure 8-C).

Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the residence. - Page 22 Smoke Detection – Are More Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection.
