Important Safe Guards
When using household protective devices, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including those listed below:
Please read all instructions.
Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows what to do
in case the alarm sounds.
To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover smoke/heat alarms in
any manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease.
If a unit has been damaged in any way or does not function properly, do not
attempt a repair. Return Alarm (see
– Getting your Alarm Serviced).
Smoke/Heat Alarms are intended for premises having a residential type
environment.
Smoke/Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The supplier or
manufacturer is not your insurer.
Do not dispose of your Alarm in a fire.
Use the Smoke/Heat Alarm Test Buttons to familiarize your family with the Alarm
sound and to practice fire drills regularly with all family members. Draw up a floor
plan that will show each member at least 2 escape routes from each room in the
house. Children tend to hi
de when they don’t know what to do. Teach children how
to escape, open windows, and use roll up fire ladders and stools without adult help.
Make sure they know what to do if the alarm goes off.
