DO NOT Install Smoke Alarms:
• In areas where combustion particles are present.
(Combustion particles are the by-products of something that
is burning.) Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated
kitchens, garages, near furnaces, or near hot water
heaters. Place smoke alarm as far from the source of com-
bustion particles as possible to prevent nuisance alarms.
• In damp or very humid areas such as bathrooms with
showers where normal humidity may rise above 93% rela-
tive humidity. Areas above this humidity level can cause
false alarm.
• In direct air flow nor within 3 feet of air returns or heating
and cooling supply vents. Install at least 3 feet (0.9
meters) away from these areas. The air could blow
smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.
• In rooms where temperatures may fall below 40°F (4°C) or
rise above 100°F (38°C).
• In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. Loose
particles interfere with smoke alarm operation.
