8. Locations to Avoid

(See Figures 7-A, 7-B, & 7-C for recommended locations)
• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.
• Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or
be a photoelectric type.
• Do not install within 6 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.
• Less than 4" (10cm) from the peak of an "A" frame type ceiling.
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarms or a failure to alarm.
• In very humid areas (above 95% RH, non-condensing), as moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (0.9m) of the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower,
forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow
areas.
• Near lights. Electronic "noise" generated by the electronics may cause nuisance alarms.
• Do not install near vents, flues or chimneys.
• Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.
• Avoid installing where the unit will be exposed to direct sunlight.
