|   |    |   Do 
not install your HOUSESAFE in the following areas:-  |   
 |   1. 
  | Bathrooms, 
kitchens, shower rooms, garages.  Any areas where the alarm may be triggered 
by local conditions i.e. Condensation or steam in a bathroom, smoke from 
cooking appliances and vehicle fumes in garages. |    |  
 2.   | Locations 
of temperature extremes.  Areas where normal temperature can be below 4 
deg°C {39 deg°F) or exceed 40 deg°C   (104 deg°F) i.e. attics, 
furnace/boiler rooms. |    |  
 3.  | Near 
any decorative objects which, may prevent smoke from entering the unit. |   
 |   4.  | On 
surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room.  
Temperature differences might stop smoke from reaching the unit. |   
 |   5.  | Next 
to air vents, air conditioning, heaters, windows etc.  The direction of 
airflow may change resulting in the smoke being driven away from the unit. |   
 |   6  | Dusty 
or dirty areas. Dust can build up in the sensing chamber and impair performance 
or it may block the vents into the sensing chamber preventing smoke from entering 
the unit. |    |   7.  | Insect 
infested areas. Small insects entering the sensing chamber can cause intermittent 
alarms. |    |   8.  | Awkward 
areas where it may be difficult to reach the unit for maintaining and testing 
the unit. |    Previous
