SMOKE
DETECTION
Are
more
smoke
alarms
desirable?
The required
number
of
smoke alarms
might
not
provide reliable early warning protection
for
those
areas separated by a door from
the
areas
protected
by
the
required smoke
alarms. For
this
reason,
the
use
of
additional
smoke alarms
for
those
areas
for
increased
protection is recommended. The additional
areas include
the
dining room, and hallways
not
protected
by
the
required smoke alarms.
The
installation
of
smoke alarms
in
kitchens,
attics
(finished or unfinished), or garages is
not
normally recommended, because these
locations occasionally experience conditions
that
can result in improper operation.
As
Nest
Protect
is also a Carbon Monoxide alarm,
it
is
not
recommended
to
install
it
in a furnace room
or a
utility
room
if it
contains a
water
heater or
a furnace.
It
should be
15-20
feet
from these
appliances
to
avoid transient conditions and/or
perceived nuisance alarms.
