IF YOUR HOUSEHOLD OR RESIDENCE HAS SEVERAL FLOORS, THERE

MUST BE AN ALARM ON EVERY FLOOR, INCLUDING IN THE BASEMENT.

See Figure 3.

• Do install a smoke alarm in every

bedroom where a smoker sleeps.

• Do install a smoke alarm in every

room and bedroom where electrical

appliances (such as portable heaters,

humidifiers or electric blankets) may

be operated while someone sleeps.

• Do install a smoke alarm inside every

bedroom where someone sleeps with the

door closed. Smoke can be blocked by

the closed door, or the alarm may not

wake the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Do install smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway if it is

more than 30 feet long.

• Do install basement smoke alarms at the bottom of the basement

stairwell.

• Do install second floor smoke alarms at the top of the first-to-second

floor stairwell, as long as no door or obstruction blocks the path of

the smoke to the alarm.

• Do install a smoke alarm in a room where flammable household

chemicals or solvents are stored. For example, if you keep kerosene,

paint thinner or certain types of contact cements within your resi-

dence, install a smoke alarm in that room, unless not recommended

by a situation described in the section “WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT

INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS.”

• Do install smoke alarms on the ceiling not closer than 4 inches to any

wall or corner, or on the wall at least 4 inches but no more than 12

inches from the ceiling. See Figure 4.

• If your ceiling has radiant heat or has a lack of insulation to the out-

side, ceiling mounting of your smoke alarm is not advisable due to tem-

perature variations. You should follow the wall-mounting procedures.
