Smoke alarm devices are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm
is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible
particles are generated from spills or when grilling/frying. Using the
fan on a range hood that vents to outside (non-recirculating type)
will also help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen.
The alarm silence (test button) is extremely useful in a kitchen area
or other areas prone to nuisance. The hush feature is to be used only
when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking
activates the alarm. The smoke alarm device is desensitized by push
the alarm silence (hush mode) on the smoke alarm device cover, if
the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence to indicate that the
alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm
device will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes, if
after this period, particles of combustion are still present, the alarm
will sound again. The alarm silencer (hush mode) can be repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the alarm silencer and sound a
continuous alarm, the smoke alarm goes back to normal work
status from hush mode
CAUTION: Before using the alarm silence (hush), identify the
source of the smoke and be certain a safe condition exists.
