This smoke alarm should be out of the reach of children.

AC smoke alarms require constant 230V AC, 50Hz power to operate

connected or has failed or been interrupted for any reason. Models KF10,
KF10LL and KF20, KF20LL require a working 9-volt battery to operate prop-
erly in the event of a power failure. Models KF10R and KF20R require a
minimum of 2 full days under mains power to reach full backup capacity. DO

unwanted alarms.

This will remove your protection. Open windows or fan the air

around smoke alarm to silence it. KF10, KF10LL, KF10R, KF20, KF20LL and
