If after reviewing this manual you feel that your smoke
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 Customer Service at 1-800-880-6788.

10 Year Limited Warranty

Kidde warrants to the original purchaser that the enclosed
smoke alarm (but not 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 smoke alarm or any part which we
find to be defective in material, workmanship or design, free of
charge to the customer, upon sending the smoke alarm with
proof of date of purchase, postage and return postage prepaid,
to Kidde Canada Inc., P.O. Box 40, Apsley, ON K0L 1A0.
1-800-880-6788.

This warranty shall not apply to the smoke 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 AC or DC electrical power.

The liability of Kidde or any of its parent or subsidiary
corporations arising from the sale of this smoke alarm or under
the terms of this limited warranty shall not in any case exceed the
cost of replacement of this smoke alarm and, in no case, shall
Kidde or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations be liable for
consequential loss or damages resulting from the failure of this
smoke alarm or for breach of this or any other warranty, express
or implied, even if the loss or damage is caused by the company’s
negligence or fault.

Since some provinces do not allow limitations on 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.

Also, Kidde makes no warranty, express or implied, written or
oral, including that of merchantability or fitness for any
particular purpose, with respect to the battery.

The above warranty may not be altered except in writing
signed by both parties hereto.
