
Install a smoke and heat detector inside
every room where one sleeps with the door
partly or completely closed, since smoke
could be blocked by the closed door and a
hallway alarm may not wake up the sleeper
if the door is closed.

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.

Install smoke and heat detectors as close
to the center of the ceiling as possible. If
this is not practical, put the detector on the
ceiling, no 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.
