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. This unit contains nuisance alarm
protection, which will reduce the impact of cooking particles.
However, large quantities of combustible particles from spills
or broiling could still cause the unit to alarm. Careful location
of the unit away from the kitchen area will give the maximum
nuisance alarm protection. Combustion particles from cooking
may set off the alarm if located too 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.If the
alarm sounds, check for fires first.
If a fire is discovered follow these steps. Become thoroughly
familiar with these items, and review with all family members!
• 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.
• 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.
Smoke alarm pattern is 3 long beeps, repeating, followed
by “Fire! Feu!”. Strobe will flash once per second.

SMOKE ALARM ACTIVATION
What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
• 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 selected meeting place and make
sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or
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.
• Do not reenter under any circumstance until fire officials say
that it is safe to do so.
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be
effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA
Standard 72. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
d) fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated
fire; for example, when a person’s clothes catch fire
while cooking
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING:
Activation of the CO Alarm
indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can kill you.
1) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open
door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move away from
the open door/window until the emergency services responders
have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm
remains in its normal condition.
2) Call your local emergency service.
(fire department or 911)
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the unit is sounding a CO alarm signal, pressing the Test/
Hush button on this unit will do nothing. Pressing the Test/
Hush button on the initiating CO or Combination alarm unit
will terminate the CO alarm on all interconnected units. If
the CO condition that caused the alarm in the first place
continues, the initiating alarm unit will reactivate in alarm
mode. If the unit goes into alarm mode again within six
minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly
become a dangerous situation.

What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
WARNING:
This alarm DOES NOT detect
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and is not a substitute
for owning a Carbon Monoxide Alarm.
If CO is detected from any other unit in an interconnected
system, the carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern will sound
4 quick beeps in time with red LED flashes, repeating every
5 seconds, followed by “Warning! Carbon Monoxide! Monoxyde
de carbone!” The strobe will flash 4 times every 5 seconds.
The smoke alarm takes precedence when both smoke
and carbon monoxide are present.

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
•NFPA72states:Lifesafetyfromfireinresidentialoccupanciesisbased
primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape,
followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants.
•Firewarningsystemsfordwellingunitsarecapableofprotectingabout
half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate
with the fire, 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 people, other strategies such as protectionin-place or assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
•Leadingauthoritiesrecommendthatbothionizationandphotoelectric
smoke alarms be installed to help ensure maximum detection of
the various types of fires 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
smouldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms.
