Installation Guide

Do not place the device in the following areas:

 Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning. Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are

present you do not install the smoke alarms to avoid nuisance alarms, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation,

garages where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space heaters.



Do not install smoke alarms less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from places where combustion particles are normally present,

like kitchens. If a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the alarm as far away from the

combustion particles as possible, preferably on the ceiling. To prevent nuisance alarm alarms, provide good ventilation in

such places. Within 5 feet (1.5 meter) of open flame appliances such as furnaces, stoves and fireplaces.

If The Smoke Alarm Sounds

 Do not panic, stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.



Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Do not stop to get dressed or collect anything.



Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Do not open a hot door. Keep

doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

 Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breath.

 Meet at your planned meeting place after leaving the house.



Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside your house. Give the address and your name.

 Never go back inside a burning building. Contact your local Fire Department. They will give you more ideas about how to

make your home safer from fires and how to plan your family’s escape.

Ceiling Mounting



Choose a flat and solid ceiling to install the device.



Draw a four inches horizontal line at the place where you are going to install the device.

 Draw 2 marks to locate the screws.

 Drill two holes at the marks and insert screws and wall plugs.

 Attach the bracket to the ceiling by using the supplied two screws and wall plugs.



Attach the device onto the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into place. Make sure it is securely attached to the

mounting bracket.
