FIRE SAFETY TIPS
Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking
materials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters
away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers;
4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload
electrical circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and
chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on
the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open flames, like
candles, away from flammable materials;8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.
Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately
if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot
alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every
floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or
other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are
blocked.
BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important
operating instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.
Pay special attention to these items.
• This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family
residences.
• This combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two
separate alarms. The CO Alarm is not designed to detect fire
or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas. The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the
presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm
is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.
• This Smoke/CO Alarm cannot operate without working
batteries. Removing the batteries for any reason, or failing to
replace the batteries at the end of their service life, removes
your protection.
• NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm
Sounds” for more information on how to respond to an alarm.
Failure to respond can result in injury or death.
• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will
not correct a problem. See "Using the Silence Features" for
details. Always check your home for a potential problem after
any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
• Test this Smoke/CO Alarm once a week. If the Alarm ever fails
to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the Alarm is
not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.
• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations
of family living units. It is not designed to measure CO levels
in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Individuals with medical conditions that may make them more
sensitive to carbon monoxide may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon
monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional
information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition
contact your physician.
