Installation instructions
Install a smoke alarm in every room or area on every level of the home
Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm if it is installed in only one room or area. If
a fire starts in another room or area than where the smoke alarm is installed, the
smoke alarm will not detect the smoke, or it will detect it too late. A smoke alarm will
not promptly detect a fire except in the room or area in which it is installed.
Place at least one smoke alarm in every room/area that is on your way from the
bedroom to the front door.
It is recommended to make a flight plan and practice it with the household members
in case of an emergency.
The requirements for the installation of a smoke alarm may differ per region. Please
contact your local authorities for possible additional requirements.
