• Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the air.
They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm
is designed to give audible warning of a developing
fire. However, many fires are fast - burning, explosive,
or intentional, and others are caused by carelessness or
safety hazards. In this circs, Smoke may not remake the
unit alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.

foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance.

property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to
fail at any time. For this reason, you must test the smoke
alarm weekly and replace unit every 10 years.

• Near appliances or areas where normal combustion regu-
larly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water heaters).

control for this areas.
• In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines. Install al least 3 m
away from these areas.
• Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
Install at least 0,9 m away from these areas. The air could
blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.
• In rooms where temperatures may fall below 4°C or rise
above 38°C.
• In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect – infested areas influ-
ence particles interfere with smoke alarm operation.

are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. 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
grilling/frying. Using the fan on a range hood that vents to
outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these
combustible particles from the kitchen. The alarm silence
(test button) is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other
areas prone to nuisance alarms.
The silence feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking activates the alarm.
The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximate-
ly 10 minutes, if after this period, particles of combustion
are still present, the alarm will sound again.
The alarm silencer (silence mode) can be repeatedly until
the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
