When the Smoke Alarm Sounds:
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the
alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. This unit contains nuisance alarm protection,
which will reduce the impact of cooking particles. However, large quantities of combustible particles
from spills or broiling could still cause the unit to alarm. Careful location of the unit away from the
kitchen area will give the maximum nuisance alarm protection. Combustion particles from cooking
may set off the alarm if located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles
are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside
(non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the kitchen. If the alarm
sounds, check for fi res fi rst. If a fi re is discovered, follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with
these items, and review with all family members!
* Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very sound and may not be awakened by the sound
of the smoke alarms.
* Leave immediately using one of your planned escape routes. Every second counts, so don't stop to
get dressed or pick up valuables.
* Before opening inside doors, look for smoke seeping in around the edges, and feel with the back of
your hand. If the door is hot, use your second exit. If you feel it's safe, open the door very slowly and
be prepared to close immediately if smoke and heat rush in.
* If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, crawl low under the smoke where the air is
clearer.
* Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two people have arrived, one should leave to call
emergency service from a neighbor's home, and the other should stay to perform a head count.
* Do not reenter under any circumstance until fi re offi cials give the go-ahead.
* There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be eff ective to protect against fi re. For instance:
• Smoking in bed.
• Leaving children unsupervised.
• Cleaning with fl ammable liquids, such as gasoline.
• Fires where the victim is intimate with a fl aming initiated fi re; for example, when a person's clothes
catch fi re while cooking.

• Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due to a closed door or other
obstruction.
• Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's egress is blocked even with
properly located detectors.
WARNING:
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can kill you.
When the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounds:
1. Operate the test/reset button.
2. Call your emergency services.
3. Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check
that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/
window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises has been aired out, and
your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualifi ed appliance technician
to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and
appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identifi ed during
this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer's instructions, or contact the manufacturer
directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are
not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
