NOTE: If a smoke alarm is installed in a kitchen, ensure it has an accessible silence button,
and install it as far away from the stove and sink as possible to avoid false alarms.
1. Prioritize the installation of a smoke alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and
make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In a home with several
bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm
in your home, install the alarm near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a
basement or furnace room.
2. Install an alarm above the stairway and on every fl oor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to
the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible.
Ensure that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from corner.
4. If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of
20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4–12 inches (10–30 cm) should
be kept below the ceiling.
6. If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should
be installed in the same room.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet
(90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.
