Kidde PI2000CA - Manual (Page 5)

• 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. This may create a thermal
barrier which can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm
mounted on the ceiling. If you are not sure about the
insulation in your home, or if you notice that the outer walls
and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an
inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm with the
top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4") and a
maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the ceiling (Image 2A).
