1. PLACEMENT
1. Place the detector as close as possible to the center of the ceiling. If not possible, mount no closer
than 10cm (0.33ft) from a wall or corner. Also, if local codes allow, install the detectors on walls,
between 10 and 30cm (0.33 and 0.98ft) from ceiling/wall intersections.
2. Install a minimum of two units in every house, no matter how small the house is.
3. Place a detector in each room that is divided by a partial wall.
For best protection we recommend that you install a detector in every room.
DO NOT place EWF1/EWF1CO in the following locations:
• Near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces,
hot water heaters). Use specialized detector with unwanted alarm control for this areas.
• In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines.
Install at least 3m (9.84ft) away from these areas.
• Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents. Install at least 1m (3.28ft) away from these
areas. The air could blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting the alarm.
• In rooms where temperatures may fall below +5°C (+41°F) or rise above +45°C (+113°F).
• In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas where loose particles interfere with the detec-
tor operation.
Incorrect placement will result in the decrease of operational effectiveness.
