B. Locations to Avoid:
WARNING: Do not install in garages, kitchens,
furnace rooms or bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 1.5 M
(5') AWAY FROM ANY FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The door
to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains 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. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust,
grease or household chemicals can contaminate the alarm's
sensor, causing the alarm to not operate properly.
Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block
the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensors to
accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of
vaulted ceilings, "A" frame ceilings or gabled roofs. Keep
out of damp and humid areas.
Install at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent lights as
electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place in
direct sunlight and keep out of insect infested areas.
Extreme temperatures will affect the sensitivity of the
Smoke Alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature
is colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F),
such as garages and unfinished attics. Do not install in areas
where the relative humidity (RH) is greater than 85%. Place
away from doors and windows that open to the outside.
