7. Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators
This smoke alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke
will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly
into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it
is located too close to a cooking appliance. 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.
If the source of a smoke alarm (3 long beeps with the voice message “Fire!
Feu!”) is immediately known, you can use the Hush feature to silence the
alarm for about 9 minutes. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the
reasons listed in “Locations to avoid” may have caused the alarm. If a fire
is discovered, get out and call the fire department.
