NOTE: Dense smoke will override Hush
TM
and sound a continuous alarm. If no fire is present,
check to see if one of the reasons listed in “Locations to avoid” may have caused the alarm.
If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department or 911.
Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the
alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to a cooking
appliance. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when broiling. Using
the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help prevent
nuisance alarms from occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance (combination smoke/CO models only)
RESET: Pushing the Test/Hush button on a combination smoke/CO unit during CO alarm allows
the unit to reset calculations and double check for the presence of CO. If the unit re-alarms within 6
minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation. Move to fresh
air and call 911.
WARNING: ALTHOUGH RESET FEATURE CAN BE USED FOR CO ALARM EVENTS, IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF A CO ALARM USING SIGHT OR SMELL.
ALWAYS CONSIDER A CO ALARM EVENT AS DANGEROUS.
