Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric
technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced
i
n gr
ea
t
er amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible
materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include
p
a
pe
r burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in
gr

burning in couches or bedding.
For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each
level and in every bedroom of your home.

IRE SAFETY TIPS
F
ollow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking
ma
terials properly. Never smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away
from children; 3) Store flammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep
ele
ctrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;
5) K
eep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debris-
free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep
por
table heaters and open flames, like candles, away from flammable
ma
terials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.
K
eep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if
they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert
y
ou to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and
a
n 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

opera
ting instructions or to potentially hazardous situations.
Pay special attention to these items.
•
This Smoke/CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family
res
idences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.
•
T
his 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
rea
ches 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 ign
ore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for
m
ore 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.
