•Do install smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway if it is more than 30 feet long.

•Do install basement smoke alarms at the bottom of the basement stairwell.

•Do install second floor smoke alarms at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell, as long as no door or obstruction blocks the path of the smoke to the alarm.

•Do install a smoke alarm in a room where flammable household chemicals or solvents are stored. For example, if you keep kerosene, paint thinner or certain types of contact cements within your resi- dence, install a smoke alarm in that room, unless not recommended by a situation described in the section “WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS.”

•Do install smoke alarms on the ceiling not closer than 4 inches to any wall or corner, or on the wall at least 4 inches but no more than 12 inches from the ceiling. See Figure 4.

•If your ceiling has radiant heat or has a lack of insulation to the out- side, ceiling mounting of your smoke alarm is not advisable due to tem- perature variations. You should follow the wall-mounting procedures.
