Recommended best and acceptable locations to mount smoke detectors: Locations for placing smoke detectors for single residence with only one sleeping area: Page 6 of 12
Locations for placing smoke detectors for single floor residence with more than one sleeping area: Arrangement in a building with many floors : Page 7 of 12
The smoke detector should be installed in the centre of the room, on the ceiling, or for a sloping roof at the highest point, as smoke rises and gathers in this area. This guarantees the earliest possible alarm warning. Smoke alarms should be installed in all rooms, but not directly above the cooking area in the kitchen or the bath, where dust concentrates. Ensure that the smoke detector is not installed directly on or in the vicinity of large metal objects as they can affect the radio range. 5.
• Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert plastic wall plugs.

Push the detector onto the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into place.
