The National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) recommends installing a smoke alarm
in the following areas:
• On every floor, including finished attics
and basements.
• Inside and outside every sleeping area.
• At the top of the first-to-second floor
stairway and on the basement ceiling near
the entry of the stairs.
• In homes with more than 1,000 square feet
(93 m
2
) on one level, additional alarms may
be required.
Nest Protect should be installed at
least 10 feet (3 m) away from cooktops
or cooking appliances.
Nest Protect should NOT be installed
in unfinished attics or garages.
7. Remove the old backplate
Unscrew the backplate from the electrical
box. Save the screws to install the Nest
backplate later.
6. Remove your old smoke alarm
To prevent electrical shock, make sure the
green power light is off on the alarm. You
may have to twist the alarm to release it.
Carefully remove it to keep from damaging
your ceiling or wall.
Tip: Your old smoke alarm might make a loud noise
when you disconnect it.
