Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Fyrnetics alarm. 
Please read through our guide in full. 

Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation and photo-elec-
tric (optical) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation sensing alarms may detect invisible fire
particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms.
Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoul-
dering fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are
often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionisation and
Photoelectric alarms be installed.Heat alarms are useful in areas with condensa-
tion/dust/high humidity, such as kitchens and lofts. 
Heat alarms MUST ALWAYS be interconnected to smoke alarms.

230V Interconnectable Mains Operated Alarms For models: 

1SFW, 1SFWR, 2SFW, 2SFWR,

3SFW and 3SFWR

The additional Owner’s Manual should be left in a safe place
