ALARM MEMORY:
This smoke alarm has a memory function that
will inform you if the alarm has sounded since the button was last
pressed. The alarm memory will cause the red LED to flash
rapidly when the button is pressed. The alarm memory is reset when
the button is released.
TESTING:
Test by pushing and releasing the button. This will sound
the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are working.
If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective battery or other failure.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could
damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a
structure fire.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective
alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 15).
5. NUISANCE ALARMS
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette
smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown
directly into the alarm. 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
broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside
(non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible
products from the kitchen.
This model has a SMART HUSH
®
control that is extremely useful in a
kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more
information refer to Section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,
get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to
see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the
alarm.
