Smoke alarms are designed to minimise nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not
normally set off 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 PFKSA-LB has a HUSH control that is extremely useful in areas prone
to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to OPERATION AND TESTING""
section.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call
the fire service. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed on the
Installation section, "To minimise nuisance alarms avoid these locations", may have
caused the alarm.
WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR ANY REASON!
NOTE:
One Lithium-Ion battery, permanently sealed inside the alarm, powers this
unit; no battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm
