What To Do If The Alarm Sounds

When the smoke alarm sounds:
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. Children sleep very sound
and may not be awakened by the sound of the smoke
alarms.
• Leave immediately using one of your planned escape routes.
Every second counts, don't stop to get dressed or pick up
valuables.
