. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion
particles in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm is designed to give audible

caused by carelessness or safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to

or property from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters are
responsible for insuring their own lives and 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 every 10 years.
