Smoke Alarm Procedure
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette
smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is
blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustion 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 combustion particles from the kitchen.
If the alarm sounds, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,
follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with these
steps and review with all family members:
• Alert small children in the home.
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up
valuables.
• In 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 against it,
open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and
smoke rush in.
• If the air is smoky, stay close to the floor. Breathe shallowly
through a cloth, wet if possible.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make
sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not
from yours!
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is
all right to do so.

Important Warning Statements
IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
AND KEEP THIS MANUAL NEAR THE ALARM FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
WARNING: BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND/OR ALARM WILL
NOT ATTACH TO MOUNTING BRACKET UNLESS BATTERY IS INSTALLED
CORRECTLY.
REMOVAL OF BATTERY WILL RENDER THE SMOKE ALARM INOPERATIVE.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV OR
MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP
AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
CAUTION: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM (85 DECIBELS),
ALWAYS STAND AN ARMS-LENGTH AWAY FROM THE UNIT WHEN TESTING.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE
SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL FEATURE
AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
SMOKE ALARMS ARE DEVICES THAT CAN PROVIDE EARLY WARNING OF
POSSIBLE FIRES AT A REASONABLE COST; HOWEVER, ALARMS HAVE
SENSING LIMITATIONS. 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.
HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE. FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION, KIDDE RECOMMENDS THAT
BOTH IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS BE INSTALLED.

This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see section 9). Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E.
Manufactured in compliance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR
32.27. The purchaser is exempt from any regulatory requirements. Do

section 12 for service.
LOSS OF POWER TO THE ALARM WILL RENDER THIS ALARM
INOPERATIVE.
Product Specifications
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate
area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor
the exit path as the sleeping rooms are
usually farthest from the exit. If more than
one sleeping area exists, locate additional
alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3).
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any
stairway as stairways act like chimneys for
smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor
level.
• Locate an alarm in every sleeping room.
• 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 with the door closed. The
closed door may prevent an alarm not
located in that room from waking 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 installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barriers
that may form at the ceiling. For more
details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
below.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from
the side wall (see figure 1).
• When mounting the alarm on the wall,
use an inside wall with the top edge of
the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and
a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the
ceiling (see figure 1).

1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one
smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor
space.
• In homes that are not well insulated, 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. If you are
not sure about the insulation in your home, or if you notice that the
outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an
inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm with the top edge
of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12”
(30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or
within 3ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA
72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1
ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be located on the high side
of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced
and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the peak of the ceiling measured
horizontally” (see figure 2).
• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on the
highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceiling
within 12” (305mm) vertically down from the highest point (see figure
4).
Mobile Home Installation
Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and Figures 1 and 2). In older mobile homes that
are not well insulated compared to present standards, 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 at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a maximum of 12”
(30.5cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).
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, install the
alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install at least one
alarm close to the sleeping rooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE
FLOOR PLAN in figure 2.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV
OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE
EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
