Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or when broiling.

Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3). • Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
0970-7205-00(820-1494B)_En.qxd:_ 2011.1.5 3:25 PM 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor space. • In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.
0970-7205-00(820-1494B)_En.qxd:_ 2011.1.5 3:25 PM 2. Locations To Avoid • In the garage.

Limitations of Smoke Alarms WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible.
0970-7205-00(820-1494B)_En.qxd:_ 2011.1.5 3:25 PM 8. Good Safety Habits DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE • Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder. • Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire. • Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs.
