In small rooms less than 25 cubic meters (883 cubic ft.) in size, a small amount of smoke may activate
a smoke alert. For example, smoking or bathroom steam may activate a smoke alert.
Figure 8. Recommended Smoke Detector Locations to Avoid Air Streams with Combustion Particles
WARNING: Never remove batteries to stop a false alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the detector to
get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is gone. If false alarms persist, attempt to
clean the detector as described in this manual.
WARNING: Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake
you in an emergency. Too much exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
