| | INSTALLATION AT A RADIAL DISTANCE GREATER THAN 6 FT |
| | (1.8 M) FROM ANY STATIONARY OR FIXED COOKING APPLIANCE |
| | WHEN THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET: |
| | (A) THE KITCHEN OR COOKING AREA AND ADJACENT SPACES |
| | HAVE NO CLEAR INTERIOR PARTITIONS OR HEADERS AND |
| | (B) THE 10 FT (3.0 M) AREA OF EXCLUSION WOULD PROHIBIT |

| | REQUIRED BY OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS CODE. |
| | (5)*SMOKE ALARMS AND SMOKE DETECTORS SHALL NOT BE |
| | INSTALLED WITHIN A 36 IN. (910 MM) HORIZONTAL PATH FROM |
