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 alarms. The silence feature is to be used only
when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking
activates the alarm.
The smoke alarm 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 (silence
mode) can be repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm.
CAUTION:
BEFORE SILENCING THE ALARM IDENTIFY THE
SOURCE OF SMOKE AND ENSURE THERE IS NO RISK OF
FIRE.
NOTE:
DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE SILENCE MODE
AND THE ALARM WILL SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM
AGAIN.
DANGER:
IF THE ALARM SOUNDS, AND IT IS NOT BEING
TESTED, IT MEANS THE UNIT IS DETECTING SMOKE AND
REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The alarm should be cleaned at least once a year.
• To clean your alarm, remove it from its bracket on ceiling,
you can clean it by using compressed air or a vacuum
cleaner hose with a soft brush attachment. Blow or vacuum
around the perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and dirt
and debris. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a
damp cloth but you should avoid using a wet cloth in order
to avoid water entering the interior of alarm.
• After cleaning, reinstall it and test it by pressing the Test
button. The alarm should be replaced if cleaning can’t
restore the alarm to normal operation.
• This alarm has a low battery monitor which will cause the
alarm to “chirp” approx. every 40 seconds and the red LED
flash once at the same time for a minimum of thirty days
when the battery gets low.
If there is a defective battery or other failures, you can refer
to “Troubleshooting” for solution, or deactivate this alarm
to stop nuisance alarm which is caused by a failure of their
function. If there are still failures during warranty period, you
can return to your retailer.
• Don’t paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere
with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke.
NOTE:
1. REGULAR WEEKLY TESTING IS RECOMMENDED.
2. ALARMS MUST BE REACTIVATED BEFORE USE IF
THEY ARE DEACTIVATED.

it is warning of a potentially dangerous situation. To prepare for
such occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them
with all household members, and practice them regularly.

explain what the sound means.
2: Determine possible exits from each room and an escape
route to the outside from each exit.
3: Educate all household members to touch the door and use
an alternate exit when the door is hot, instruct them not to
open the door if the door is hot.
4: Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.
5: Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the
building.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE
1: Do not panic, stay calm.
2: Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors to
feel if they are hot before opening them. Use an alternate
exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor, and do stop to
collect anything.
3: Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.
4: Call the fire department from outside the building.
