Recommended Location of Alarms
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for
smoke and heat.
• For mobile home installation select location carefully to avoid thermal barrier that
may form at the ceiling. For more details see Mobile Home Installation.
• Do not locate smoke alarms in kitchen areas due to potential nuisance alarms from
cooking fumes.
• Incorrect orientation of smoke alarm may decrease operation effectiveness.
