Hush
®
Control Feature
CAUTION: This feature should only be used to silence an alarm that was
activated by a readily known non hazardous condition, such as smoke
from cooking.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm
is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible
particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a
range hood that vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also
help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen.
The Hush
®
button is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas
prone to nuisance alarms.
The Hush
®
feature, activated by pushing the Hush
®
button on the smoke
alarm cover, temporarily desensitizes the alarm. If the smoke is not too
dense, the alarm will silence, the Red LED will flash every 10 seconds
and some units may chirp approximately every 40 seconds for up to 8
minutes.
The smoke alarm will automatically reset to normal sensitivity after
approximately 8 minutes. If after this period particles of combustion are
still present, the alarm will sound again.
The Hush
®
feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been
cleared of the condition causing the alarm. If the cause of the alarm
is immediately known and you have determined that a safe condition
exists, then pressing the Hush button will temporarily desensitize the
alarm and the alarm will silence if the smoke is not too dense.
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush
®
feature and sound a
continuous alarm.
