17. Service And Warranty
Ten-Year Limited Warranty
Kidde warrants that the enclosed alarm will be free from defects in material and workmanship or  
design under normal use and service for a period of ten years from the date of purchase.  
The obligation of Kidde under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing the alarm or any part 
which we find to be defective in material, workmanship or design (part replacement only, no  
installation), free of charge, upon receiving the alarm with proof of date of purchase, postage and 
return postage prepaid, to Warranty Service Department, Kidde, 1016 Corporate Park Drive, Mebane, 
NC 27302. Before shipping the product, follow the steps in the Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge 
Battery section.
This warranty shall not apply to the alarm if it has been damaged, modified, abused or altered after the 
date of purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper maintenance or inadequate power. Any implied 
warranties arising out of this sale, including but not limited to the implied warranties of description, 
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the above warranty  
period. In no event shall the Manufacturer be liable for loss of use of this product or for any indirect, 
special, incidental or consequential damages, or costs, or expenses incurred by the consumer or any 
other user of this product, whether due to a breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or 
otherwise.
The Manufacturer shall have no liability for any personal injury, property damage or any special, 
incidental, contingent or consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas leakage, smoke, fire 
or explosion. Since some states do not allow limitations of the duration of an implied warranty or do 
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the above limitations or 
exclusions may not apply to you. While this warranty gives you specific legal rights, you may also have 
other rights which vary from state to state.
The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both parties hereto. Your Kidde 
Alarm is not a  substitute for property, fire, disability, life or other insurance of any kind. Appropriate 
insurance coverage is your responsibility. Consult your insurance agent. Opening the unit will void the 
warranty. If there are any differences between this printed warranty and the online limited warranty, 
then the terms of the online warranty supersede those in this user guide or other printed materials.
