Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or when broiling.

0930-7203-00(820-1493B)_EN:_ 2011.1.5 2:08 PM 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3). • Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat. FIGURE 1 • Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
0930-7203-00(820-1493B)_EN:_ 2011.1.5 2:08 PM 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor space. • In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.
0930-7203-00(820-1493B)_EN:_ 2011.1.5 2:08 PM 2. Locations To Avoid • In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile. • Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling. • In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics; this should also include electrical boxes exposed to these environments. • In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to alarm. • In very humid areas.

Good Safety Habits - Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example, when a person's clothes catch fire while cooking. - Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due to a closed door or other obstruction. - Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's egress is blocked even with properly located detectors 9.
