A. Recommended Installation Locations:
Kidde recommends the installation of a Smoke/CO
Alarm in the following locations:
For maximum protection we suggest an alarm be
installed on each level of a multilevel home, every
bedroom, hallways, finished attics, and cellars. Put
alarms at both ends of bedroom, hallway or large room
if hallway or room is more than 9.1m (30ft.) long. If you
have only one alarm, ensure it is placed in the hallway
outside of the main sleeping area, or in the main
bedroom. Verify the alarm can be heard in all sleeping
areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps
with the door closed. The closed door may prevent the
alarm from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat and
combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread
