Furnishings

• Posters, banners, wall hangings, curtains, and tapestries should be kept to a minimum. Curtains should be flame-resistant/retardant. Such hangings should not exceed 25 percent of the total wall area of the room.
• Carpet is to be laid on the floor only. It is not to be installed on walls, doors, cabinets, etc.
• Combustible wall paneling is prohibited.

• Decorations, arrangements, or housekeeping practices that contribute to an excessive fire load, or allow combustibles to be located near sources of ignition are not allowed.
• Halogen lamps operate at very high temperatures, well above those of regular lamps, and pose a greater potential for fires. 因此，所有的灯，包括落地灯和台灯，必须是白炽灯或荧光灯. Lamps must have bulbs of 300 watts or less. The following guidelines must be followed to ensure proper, safe operation:
• Never place the lamp near curtains or other cloth window treatments.
• Never drape anything over the lamp.
