31Testing and Using the Alarm
To test: Press and hold the test/reset button until you hear
three long beeps, “Fire!” repeated twice, followed by 4 quick
beeps, “Warning, Carbon Monoxide” repeated twice.
Reset: If the the smoke/CO alarm is sounding a CO alarm,
pressing the test/reset button on any Kidde device will silence
the system. If the CO condition that caused the alert continues,
the alarm will reactivate. Reactivation times depend on the
amount of CO present.
Weekly testing is required!
If at any time the alarm does not perform as described, verify
the three batteries are installed correctly and that they don’t
need replacing.
Clean dust and other buildup off the unit. If it still doesn’t operate
properly call the consumer hotline at 1-800-880-6788.
Smoke Alarm Silent Mode Feature
The smoke alarm Silent Mode feature has the capability
of temporarily desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for
approximately eight minutes.
This feature is to be used only when a known condition, such
as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. Activate the
smoke alarm Silent Mode feature by pushing the button on the
smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm
will silence immediately and the voice will announce “Hush
mode activated”. The green LED will blink every two seconds
for approximately eight minutes to indicate that the alarm is
in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will
automatically reset after approximately eight minutes and
will sound again if combustion particles are still present. The
smoke alarm Silent Mode feature can be used repeatedly until
the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
Pushing the button while the unit is in Silent Mode will end the
smoke alarm Silent Mode period and the voice will announce
“Hush mode cancelled.”
