False alarm
The Home Control Smoke Detector reduces the potential for sounding a fire alarm to the minimum. Cigarette
smoke in the air does not set off the alarm. However, if the smoke is blown directly into the ventilation slots
and smoke inlets, the alarm tone sounds. Steam and smoke from cooking can also trigger an alarm. Therefore,
the Home Control Smoke Detector may not be installed in the kitchen or bathroom. If the Home Control Smoke
Detector reports an alarm, first check whether there is a source of fire. If fire is discovered, call the fire brigade.
