1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

The smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps with voice “Fire!,” a 1.5 second pause, and three

long beeps repeating. The red LED blinks in time with the alarm pattern only on the alarm(s) that

detected the hazard (initiating alarm).

The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the

importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.

• Plan two ways out! Leave immediatel y by your escape plan. Don’t waste time getting dressed or

picking up valuables.

• While leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot , or if you see

smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside

of the door is cool, place your shoulder agains t it, open it slight ly and be ready to slam it shut if

heat and smoke rush in.

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the floor where the air is

cleaner. Crawl if necessary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selec ted meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

• Call the fire depar tment or 911 from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbor ’s home -not

from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire off icials say that it is all right to do so.

NOTE: See Section RECOGN IZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

5. Introduction, Product Features And Specifications

Introduction

This alarm detects products of combustion using a photoelectric sensor and carbon monoxide using an electrochemical cell. Many times throughout this User Guide, we will refer to Carbon Monoxide as “CO.”

Ten (10) years after the unit was installed, powered up, and tested, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace t he unit. This is called “End of Unit Life” mode. See Troubleshooting Guide. To help identif y the date to replace the unit, a label has been aff ixed to t he side of the alarm. Write the “Install date” in the space provided, and then write in the “Replace by” date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the unit. Two labels have been provided that have important information on what to do in case of a CO alarm. Place one label at eye level on a wall near the alarm after it is mounted, and one near a fresh air source such as a door or window.

6. Limitations Of Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Alarms

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• Life safet y from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on ear ly notification to occupant s of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress ac tions by those occupants.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be ef fective to protec t against f ire as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For ins tance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

• Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in poten- tially fatal fires. A smoke alarm may not be ef fective in some situations, such as during incendiary f ires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly located smoke alarms, or when victims are intimate with the fire (for example, when a person’s clothes catch fire while cooking), too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these p eople, additional strategies such as protec tion-in-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary. *

• This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which includes enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms from cooking. Industry experts recommend t hat both ionization and photoelec tric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure optimal detection of the various types of f ires that can occur within the home. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.

• A batter y powered alarm must have a battery of the specif ied type, in good condition and installed properly (this model includes two AA replaceable backup batteries).

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure t he bat tery and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot prov ide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, within walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or other obstructions.

• If the alarm is located ou tside the bedroom or on a dif ferent floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm. For optimal detection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on ever y level of a home.

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

* Reference National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 72

Monoxide Alarms

• Locate smoke alarms in all sleeping areas. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exist s, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.

• Locate additional alarms in stairways, because stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on ever y floor level.

• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps wi th the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that room from wak ing the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• For mobile home installat ion, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barriers that may form at

the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION section.

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a

maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling.

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more

than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3f t (0.9m) of the highest

point (measured horizontally).

• Indus try exper ts recommend a CO alarm be ins talled on each level of t he home-ideally on any

level with fuel burning appliances and outside of sleeping areas.

This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s 72

(National Fire Protection Association, Batter ymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).

Mobile Home Installation

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy eff icient. Install smoke alarms as

recommended above. In older mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present stan-

dards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated

walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm

mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the

alarm a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling.

If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the outer walls and

ceiling are either hot or cold compared to the room air temperature, install the alarm on an inside wall.

NFPA 72 (National Fire Protection Association) requires smoke alarms be installed in each sleeping

area.

WARNING: TEST YOUR ALARM OPERATION AFTER MOBILE HOME HAS BEEN IN STOR

AGE OR UNOCCUPIED, AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEE K DURING USE.

Page 14

8. Locations To Avoid (See Figures 7-A, 7-B, & 7-C for recommended locations)

• In the garage. Produc ts of combus tion are present when you start your automobile.

• Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm

silence feature and should not be installed within 6 ft of cooking appliances.

• Do not install within 6 ft of heating appliances.

• Less than 4” (10 cm) from the peak of an “A” frame t ype ceiling.

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and

unfinished attics.

• In dusty areas. Dust par ticles may cause nuisance alarms or a failure to alarm.

• In very humid areas (above 95% RH , non-condensing) as moisture or steam can cause nuisance

alarms.

• In insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (0.9m) of t he door to a bathroom containing a tub

or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating

fans, or other high air f low areas.

• Near lights. Electronic “noise” generated by the lights may cause nuisance alarms.

• Do not install near vents, flues, or chimneys.

• Do not install near fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.

• Avoid installing where the unit will be exposed to direct sunlight.

9. Wiring / Installation / Activation

PULL OUT TAB TO ACTIVATE BATTERIES. SAQUE LA LENGÜETA PARA ACTIVAR LAS BATERÍAS.

NOTE: A dust cover has been installed on the alarm. Keep the dus t cover on until all construc tion has been completed for at least 24 hours (drywall, painting, varnishing, mounting plate install, etc). Retain the dust cover and re-install it to protect the alarm during future construction projects. Construction dust and chemicals can cause contamination and false alarms.

WARNING: DUST COVER MUST BE REMOVED FOR ALARM TO OPERATE.

NOTE: To avoid false low battery chirping pull out the battery pull tab first to activate the backup batteries (see Figure 9-A). Battery ac tivation is conf irmed with a beep. If the beep does not occur when the bat tery pull tab is removed, remove the batteries and reinstall them. Confirm the battery activation beep.

Wiring Requirements

• This alarm should be installed on a UL Lis ted or recognized junction box. All connec tions should be made by a qualif ied electrician and all w iring used shall be in accordance with art icles 210 and 3 00.3(B) of the U.S. Nat ional Electrical Code A NSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and /or any other codes having jurisdic tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the resis tance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.

• The maximum wire run distance between the f irst and las t unit in an interconnected system is 1000 feet.

• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase supplied from a non-switchable circuit .

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and detector guard) has been evaluated and found sui table for that purpose.

• Kidde alarms are not designed, agency tested or cert ified for recessed mount ing and should not be installed in this manner. Recessed mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber, which may prevent the alarm from sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are designed, tested and certified for wall (if applicable) and ceiling surface mount only.

WARNING: THE ALARM CANNOT BE OPERATED FROM POWER DERIVED FROM A SQUARE WAVE, MODIFIED SQUARE WAVE OR MODIFIED SINE WAVE, INVERTER. THESE TYPES OF INVERTERS ARE SOMETIMES USED TO SUPPLY POWER TO THE STRUCTURE IN OFF GRID INSTALLATIONS, SUCH AS SOLAR OR WIND DERIVED POWER SOURCES. THESE POWER SOURCES PRODUCE HIGH PEAK VOLTAGES THAT WILL DAMAGE THE AL ARM.

CAUTION: Turn off the main power to the circuit before wiring the alarm.

• For alarms that are used as single st ation, DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANY THI NG. Leave the red wire insulating cap in place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any metal parts or the electrical box.

• When alarms are hardwire interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered from a single circuit.

• A maximum of 24 Kidde Safet y devices may be interconnec ted in a multiple station arrangement. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, CO, Smoke/ CO Combination, heat , etc.). With 1 8 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and /or relay modules.

• Figure 9-B illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.

• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power line.

Wiring practice that has had good results

NOTE: Use standard UL Listed household wire (as required by local codes) available at all electrical supply stores and most hardware stores.

Figure 9-C

Page 17

NOTE: AC power should be turned of f at this stage.

• For bes t resul ts to minimize nuisance alarms, interconnected alarms should be on a dedicated line. If not on a dedicated line, i t is suggested that the smoke alarms share a lighting load circuit that does not have a dimmer associated with it. If receptacles must be placed on the same line it is suggested that they be placed ahead of the smoke alarms (see Figure 9-C). This will prevent large voltage drops from occurring between

10. Operation And Testing

This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which includes enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms from cooking.

Operation

The alarm is operating once it is activated and tes ting is complete (see “ TESTING” below). When products of combustion (smoke or CO) are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm wit h voice messages. See Sec tions 1 and 2 for alarm signal descriptions. In high levels of CO, the unit will go into alarm in a shorter period of time than at low levels of CO.

Testing

WARNING: Do not attempt to test this unit with retail “canned smoke” produc ts. Those produc ts

are intended for use by trained professionals and produce inconsistent results when misused. Over-application of canned smoke can permanently damage the alarm.

Self-Testing

This model is equipped with internal, self-testing components that are always checking to ensure the device is operating as expected. (Weekly manual tes ting is still required. See below.) If the device is not operating as expected, a fault signal will be generated. (see troubleshooting guide)

Manual Testing

NOTE: When pushing the Test button, use only your finger or t humb. Using any other instrument(s) (such as a broom handle) is s tric tly prohibited, as it may damage the alarm.

Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the but ton quickly. A quick beep will confirm the button has been pushed followed by the test sequence. See O ther A larm Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm and voice (and any interconnec ted uni ts) will sound if the elect ronic circuitry, horn, speaker, and batteries are working. If the alarm or voice does not sound, or gives erratic or low volume sound, the unit must be replaced.

WARNING: DUE TO THE LOUDN ESS OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS STAND ABOUT 2.5 FEET

AWAY FROM THE UNIT OR USE EAR PROTECTION WHEN TESTING.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST YOUR ALARM, YOU COULD DAMAGE

THE ALARM OR IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND START A STRUCTURE FIRE. Chirping

When End of Unit Life or Low Battery chirping begins, you can temporarily silence these chirps by pressing the button. Other fault/error chirps cannot be silenced. Take appropriate action as described in the Troubleshooting Guide.

WARNING: REPLACE UNIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHE N IN END OF UNIT LIFE . SEVEN 7 DAYS AFTER END OF UNIT LIFE BEGINS, THE NOTIFICATIONS CANNOT BE SILENCED, AND SMOKE AND CO DETECTION CANNOT BE GUARANTEED. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY!

CO ALARM SENSOR RESPONSE TIMES

At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes. At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10 -50 minutes. At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm wit hin 4 -15 minutes.

11. Recognizing Nuisance Alarms

Smoke Nuisance

This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which includes enhanced resistance to

nuisance alarms from cooking.

HUSH

: If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verif y that it is not a life threatening

situation, you can push the button on the initiating unit to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. If the

smoke is not too dense, that unit, and all interconnected units will silence. After the HushTM period, the

smoke alarm will automatically reset and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present.

You can use HushTM repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

NOTE: Dense smoke will override HushTM and sound a continuous alarm. 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 or 911.

Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown direc tly into the

alarm. Combustion par ticles from cooking may set of f the alarm if it is loc ated 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 prevent

nuisance alarms from occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance

RESET: Pushing the button during CO alarm allows the unit to reset calculations and double check

for the presence of CO. If the unit re -alarms within 6 minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can

quickly become a dangerous situation. Move to fresh air and c all 911.

WARNING: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF A CO ALARM USING

SIGHT OR SMELL. ALWAYS CONSIDER A CO ALARM EVENT AS DANGEROUS.

Page 22

12. Battery Backup

This alarm is powered wi th AC power, but also contains two replaceable

AA backup batteries. Under normal conditions, fresh batteries will last at

least one year.

In order to access t he bat ter y compartment, the wiring harness needs

to be removed. To release the wiring harness , press down on the tab

as shown in Figure 12-A .

NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures may reduce battery life.

WARNING: THE ALARM IS SEA LED AN D THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE.

LOW BATTERY

This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point where it

can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low bat ter y condition will occur.

See Troubleshooting Guide. The batteries must be replaced within 7 days of the first occurrence of

the “Low Battery Warning” to provide continuous alarm detection.

Replace batteries with one of the following approved brands:

Energizer E91, Gold Peak 15A or Golden Power GLR6A.

These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.

WARNING: Use only the batteries specified. Use of different batteries

may have a detrimental effec t on the alarm. Do not mix old and new

batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: Do not use lithium batteries in this unit. A good safet y measure is to

replace the bat teries at least once a year, or at the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving

time. Loss of AC power and a missing or improperly installed battery will render the unit inoperable.

WARNING: Failure to properly connec t AC power and install batteries in the correct orientat ion will

prevent proper operation of this alarm and will prevent its response to fire and CO

13. General Carbon Monoxide (CO) Information

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tas teless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen.

Possible Sources of CO

Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an attached garage and using a charcoal/gas grill or hibachi in an enclosed area are all possible sources of CO. Generators running in enclosed areas, such as garages or living spaces, will create CO. CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel: gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It can be produced by any fuel- burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not ventilated correctly, such as: Furnaces/boilers, gas ranges/ stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space heaters, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters. Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafting and changes in air pressure, corroded or disconnected vent pipes, or a loose or cracked furnace heat exchanger can also release CO into your building.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions such as: Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind, heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles), negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans, simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air, vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces/boilers, or water heaters, obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations, extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.), temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases near the ground, car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

CO Safet y Tips

Every year, have the heating system, vents, chimney and flue inspected and cleaned by a qualified technician. Always install appliances according to manufacturer’s instructions and adhere to local building codes. Most appliances should be installed by professionals and inspected after installation.

Page 24

Regularly examine vents and chimneys for improper connections, visible rust, or stains, and check for cracks in furnace heat exchangers. Verify that the color of flame is blue on pilot light s and burners. An amber or orange flame is a sign that the fuel is not burning completely and may be releasing CO. Teach all household members what the alarm sounds like and how to respond. Fire Departments, most utility companies and HVAC contractors will perform CO inspect ions. Some contractors may charge for this service. It’s advisable to inquire about any applicable fees prior to having the ser vice performed. Kidde will not pay for, or reimburse the owner or user of this product, for any repair or dispatch c alls related to the alarm sounding.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever and can include diz-

ziness, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorientation. Everyone is susceptible but experts

agree that unborn babies, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory

problems are especially vulnerable. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are experienced seek

medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be determined by a carboxyhemoglobin test.

The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be dis-

cussed with ALL members of the household:

1. MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu-like”

symptoms).

2. MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

3. EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure and death.

The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to

high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. Many cases

of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not feeling well,

they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or call -

ing for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization

with the effect s of each level is impor tant .

14. Cleaning Your Alarm

Your Alarm Should be Cleaned at Least Once a Year

You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The out side of the alarm can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use water, detergents or cleaners as they may damage the alarm.

NOTE: Do not insert fingers or cleaning items under the shield during cleaning.

If the alarm is in Fault mode, the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning, press the button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs to be replaced.

• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the unit.

• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.

• Do not use a hair dr yer to clean the alarm, as it may damage the alarm and impact performance.

• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke and CO.

• Never attempt to disassemble the unit to clean inside. This action will void your warranty.

• The following substances can affect the CO sensor and may cause false readings and damage to the sensor: Methane, propane, isobutane, iso-propanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, aftershave, perfume, and some cleaning agents.

• Move the Alarm and place in another location prior to performing any of the following:

Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture Painting Wall papering Using adhesives Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of t he above projects will protect the sensors from damage. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated.

WARNING: REINSTALL THE ALARM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE CONTINUOUS

DETECTION.

15. Good Safety Habits

Develop and Prac tice a Plan of Escape

Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at night. Know two ways out of ever y room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where ever yone will gather once they have exited the residence. When two people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to call 911 while the second person stays to account for additional family members. Establish a rule that once you’re out, you never re-enter under any circumstance!

• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least t wo (2) escape routes from each room. Stories above ground level may need a rope or chain ladder.

• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing ever yone what to do in case of f ire and where to meet after they leave the house.

• Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in order to execute t he escape plan. Practice allows all occupant s to test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.

• Familiarize ever yone with t he sounds of the smoke/CO alarm and train them to leave your home when they hear it.

• Current studies have shown smoke/CO alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those w ho may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be inca pable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a f ire extinguisher prior to an emergency.

Page 27

Fire Prevention

Never smoke in bed or leave cooking food unattended. Teach children never to play with matches or lighters! Train everyone in the home to recognize the smoke alarm pattern and to leave the home using their escape plan when it’s heard. Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on fire, and how to crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire extinguishers on ever y level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage.

NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)

Fire Safety in t he Home: NFPA 72 is intended to prov ide reasonable safet y for persons in family living units. Reasonable fire safety can be produced through the following three-point program: (1) Minimizing fire hazards (2) Providing fire-warning equipment (3) Having and practicing an escape plan.

Smoke Detection – Are More Alarms Desirable?

The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protec tion for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the resident consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protec ted by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in attics (finished or unfinished), garages, or within 6’ of a heating or cooking appliance is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. *

* Reference National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 72

For your information, the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 reads: Where required by other governing laws, codes, or standards for a specific t ype of occupancy, approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

1. In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms

2. Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room, with the dist ance measured along a path of travel

3. On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements

4. On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics

5. In the li ving area(s) of a guest suite

6. In the li ving area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility)
