4. FALSE ALARMS
4.1 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.
4.2 Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is lo-
cated close to the kitchen cooking surface.
4.3 Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills and over-
boil.
4.4 An alarm with a Hush® Control device is preferable near a kitchen environ-
ment for this reason.
4.5 If the alarm does sound, check for fire first. If a fire is discovered, escape
quickly and call the Fire Brigade. If no fire is present, check to see if one of
the reasons listed above may have caused the alarm.
