MAINTENANCE

TEST ONCE A WEEK.

WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT BATTERIES

MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE ALARM.

YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the

interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and

blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the

alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.

After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If

cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should

be replaced.

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are

capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal

fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too young,

or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even

when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these

people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted escape

or rescue would be necessary.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in

good condition and installed properly.

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and

the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the

detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in

chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a

different floor.

• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different floor,

it may not wake up a sound sleeper.

INST APD0601 C160927

• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all

sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the

household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to

those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may

be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's ability to hear the

smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be

installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.

• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning

of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners

and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN

According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very

little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly.

This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for

fire conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.

Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be

taken.

SAFETY TIPS

• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors

and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.

• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all

doors and windows leading outside open easily.

• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe

distance from the home where everyone should meet.

• Practice your home fire drill at night and during the day with everyone

in your home, twice a year.

• Practice using different ways out.

• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can't help them.

• Close doors behind you as you leave.
