STEP 2: Install Mounting Bracket
NOTE: Kidde alarms are not designed, agency tested or certified for recessed mounting and should not
be installed in this manner. Recessed mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber,
which may prevent the alarm from sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of
occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are designed, tested and certified for wall (if applicable)
and ceiling surface mount only.
After selecting the proper location for your alarm, attach the mounting bracket to the wall or
ceiling. To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the
mounting bracket should be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when
wall mounted. (Figures 8-D and 8-E)
STEP 3: Install Alarm
Install the alarm fully on the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise direction (Figure
8-F). NOTE: Do not grab the shield to install or remove the alarm. Grab the alarm by the outside of the
enclosure (Figure 8-C).
