LZ-1901 Smoke alarm smoke detector

Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home, outside sleeping areas, and inside bedrooms. They should be placed in the center of a ceiling or near the ceiling on a wall. Smoke alarms should be installed at least 10 feet away from cooking appliances to avoid false alarms. They should also be installed in areas where smoke may not reach easily, such as near stairwells or in basements. It is important to avoid installing smoke alarms near windows, doors, or vents. Interconnected smoke alarms are recommended to ensure everyone in the home can hear the alarm and evacuate safely. Regular maintenance, including monthly testing, battery replacement, and unit replacement every 10 years, is crucial for proper functioning. The goal is to have smoke alarms installed in key areas throughout the home to provide early warning and increase the chances of a safe evacuation in case of a fire.
