Where not fit to install smoke alarm
1. Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns.
Avoid installing in the areas include poorly ventilated kitchens,garages,and furnace rooms.Keep
units at least 6m from the sources of combustion particles(stove,furnace,water heater,space
heater)if possible.Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
2. In air streams near kitchens.Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the sensing chamber of a
smoke alarm near the kitchen.
3. In very damp,humid or steamy areas,or directly near bathrooms whith showers.Keep units at least
3m away from showers saunas,dishwhashers,etc.
4. Where the temperatures are regularly below 40 F(4 C)or above 100F(38 C),including unheated
buildings,outdoor rooms,porches,or unfinished attics or basements.
5. In very dusty,dirty,or greasy areas.Don’t install a smoke alarm directly over the stove or
range.Clean a laundry room unit frequently to keep it free of dust or lint.
6. Near fresh air vents,ceiling fans,or in very drafty areas.Drafts can blow smoke away from the
unit,preventing it from reaching the sensing chamber.
7. In insect infested areas.Insects can clog openings to the sensing chamber and cause unwanted
alarms.
8. Less than 305mm away from fluorescent lights.Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.
9. In “dead air” space, for example,in Diagram 1,near the corner less than 10cm.
10. If you have a smoking meeting room, don’t install the alarm there for the unit will alarm when
several persons smoke.
