Installation Positioning
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 an 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 floor 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.
