Avoid these Locations
• Avoid dusty areas, dust particles may cause smoke alarm to false alarm or fail to alarm.
• Avoid very humid areas or near a bathroom or laundry, moisture can cause false alarm.
• Avoid insect-infested areas.
• Do not locate alarm within 0.9m of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a
bathroom containing a tub or shower, a ceiling or whole house ventilating fan, or
other high flow areas.
• Avoid locating near fluorescent lights or other electrical equipment. Electronic
magnetic interferences or"noise" may cause nuisance alarms or chirping.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm
and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
False Alarms
• This smoke alarm is designed to minimize false alarms. Smoking will not normally set
off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into the alarm.
• Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close
to the kitchen cooking surface or appliance.
• Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills and over-boil.
• An alarm with a Hush Control device is preferable near a kitchen environment for this
reason.
Alarm Cleaning
To prevent false alarming caused by buildup of dust and insects, remove base plate
from alarm (see pg 8) and carefully vacuum all gaps and openings with the brush
attachment on your household vacuum cleaner. Repeat procedure every 6 months. 7
