• Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
• Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor
stairwell.
• Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to
the detector.
• Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family
room, attic, utility and storage rooms.

closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner, as shown in
Figure 4.
• If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted
by your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between
4 and 6 inches (10 ~ 15 cm) from the ceiling, also see Figure 4.
• If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try
to mount detectors 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured horizontally from
the highest point of the ceiling as shown in Figure 5.
