Use and Care Manual
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, it is recommended that the house-
holder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased 
protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, 
furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke 
alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in attics (finished or unfinished), 
garages, or within 6’ of a heating or cooking appliance is not normally recom-
mended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in 
improper operation.
CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHALL
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection 
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm 
installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside the bed-
rooms), heat or smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, 
kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, 
basements and attached garages.
