Page 16: Installation
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 17 wARNING: fAIlURe to PRoPeRly INstAll ANd ACtIvAte thIs AlARM wIll PReveNt PRoPeR oPeRAtIoN of thIs AlARM ANd wIll PReveNt Its ResPoNse to fIRe hAZARds.
