If after reviewing this user guide you feel that your alarm is defective in any way, do not
tamper with the unit. In many cases, the quickest way to exchange your alarm is to
return it to the original place of purchase. Alternatively, you may return it for servicing
to Kidde. If you have questions, call Kidde Product Support Line at 1-800-880-6788.

altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper maintenance
or inadequate A.C. or D.C. power. Any implied warranties arising out of this sale,
including but not limited to the implied warranties of description,merchantability and

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, fire or explosion.

Since some provinces 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 province to
province. The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both
parties hereto.

property, disability, life or other insurance of any kind. Appropriate insurance coverage
is your responsibility. Consult your insurance agent. Removal of the front cover will void
