  • Page 2: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

    What to do When the 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. However, large quantities of combustible particles from spills or broiling could still cause the unit to alarm.
  • Page 3 What to do When the Alarm Sounds! • 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 noted by the NFPA Standard 72.
