Step 1

Installation Guide:

IMPORTANT: THIS ALARM MUST BE MOUNTED ON A CEIL-

ING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A

TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!

A. Recommended Installation Locations:

Kidde recommends the

installation of a Smoke/CO

Alarm in the following loca-

tions. For maximum protec-

tion we suggest an alarm be

installed on each level of a

multilevel home, including

every bedroom, hallways, fin-

ished attics and basements.

Put alarms at both ends of

bedroom, hallway or large

room if hallway or room is

more than 30 ft (9.1m) long.

If you have only one alarm,

ensure it is placed in the hallway outside of the main sleep-

ing area, or in the main bedroom. Verify the alarm can be

heard in all sleeping areas.

Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with

the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not

located in that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat

and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread hor-

izontally.

Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the

room places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling

mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.

When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a mini-

mum of 4” (10cm) from the side wall (see figure 1). If

installing the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the

top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a

maximum of 12” (30.5cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
