FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
KIDDE Safety warrants to the original purchaser that the enclosed smoke alarm will be free from
defects in material and workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period of five
years from the date of purchase. The obligation of KIDDE Safety under this warranty is limited to
repairing or replacing the smoke alarm or any part which we find to be defective in material, work-
manship or design, free of charge to the customer, upon sending the smoke alarm with proof of
date of purchase, postage and return postage prepaid, to Warranty Service Department, KIDDE
Safety, 1394 South Third St., Mebane, NC 27302.
This warranty shall not apply to the smoke alarm if it has been damaged, modified, abused or
altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper maintenance or inade-
quate A.C. or D.C. electrical power.
THE LIABILITY OF KIDDE SAFETY OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS
ARISING FROM THE SALE OF THIS SMOKE ALARM OR UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF SMOKE
ALARM AND, IN NO CASE, SHALL KIDDE SAFETY OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY
CORPORATIONS BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM
THE FAILURE OF THE SMOKE ALARM OR FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRAN-
TY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE COMPANY’S
NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.
Since some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty or do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the above limitations or exclu-
sions may not apply to you. While this warranty gives you specific legal rights, you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both parties hereto.

10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following information:
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the
bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each
sleeping room.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might
not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas pro-
tected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consid-
er the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas
include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected
by the required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or
unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as these locations occasionally experience con-
ditions that can result in improper operation.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s
Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANY OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM
INSTALLATION.
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL)
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms
and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the
vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms,
bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and
attached garages.”
