Recommended Installation Locations
IMPORTANT:This alarm must be mounted on a ceiling or wall. It was not designed for use as a tabletop device. Install only as directed.
Kidde recommends the installation of a Smoke/CO Alarm in the following locations. For maximum protection we suggest an alarm be installed on each level of a multilevel home, every bedroom, hallways, finished attics and basements. Put alarms at both ends of bedroom, hallway or large room if it is more than 30’. (9.1m) long. If you have only one alarm, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside of the main sleeping area, or in the main bedroom. Verify the alarm can be heard in all sleeping areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm located outside that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.
Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction. When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10cm) from the side wall (see Diagram A). If installing the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5cm) below the ceiling (see Diagram A).
