Hey Emma, great choice on selecting the Kidde KI-PD smoke detector for your home! Make sure to install it on the ceiling or high on the wall, as smoke rises. Avoid installing it near air vents, windows, or doors, as airflow might affect its performance. Test the detector after installation to ensure it’s functioning properly, and don’t forget to replace the batteries regularly. If you have any further questions during the installation process, feel free to ask!
