Ten-year Limited warranty

Kidde warrants that the enclosed alarm (excluding the battery) will be free from defects in material and 
workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. The 
obligation of Kidde under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing the alarm or any part which we find 
to be defective in material, workmanship or design (part replacement only, no installation), free of charge, upon 
receiving the alarm with proof of date of purchase, postage and return postage prepaid, to Warranty  Service  
Department, Kidde, 1016 Corporate Park Drive, Mebane, NC 27302. Before shipping the product, remove the 
battery from the front load battery compartment.
This warranty shall not apply to the alarm if it has been damaged, modified, abused or altered after the date of 
purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper maintenance or inadequate power. Any implied warranties  
arising out of this sale, including but not limited to the implied warranties of description, merchantability and 
fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the above warranty period. In no event shall the  
Manufacturer be liable for loss of use of this product or for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential  
damages, or costs, or expenses incurred by the consumer or any other user of this product, whether due to a 
breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise.
The Manufacturer shall have no liability for any personal injury, property damage or any special, incidental, 
contingent or consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas leakage, smoke, fire or explosion. Since some 
states do not allow limitations of the duration of an implied warranty or do not allow the exclusion or limitation 
of incidental or consequential damages, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. While this 
warranty gives you specific legal rights, you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both parties hereto. Your Kidde Alarm is not 
a substitute for property, fire, disability, life or other insurance of any kind. Appropriate insurance coverage is your 
responsibility. Consult your insurance agent. Opening the unit will void the warranty.
