Kidde Smoke Alarm 0910UK - Official Manual and Instructions

ALARM MEMORY: This smoke alarm has an memory function that will inform you if the alarm has sounded since the test button was last pressed. The alarm memory will cause the red LED to flash rapidly when the test button is pressed. The alarm memory is reset when the test button is released.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding it down for a minimum of 5 seconds (or until the alarm sounds). This will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn, and batteries are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective batteries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low sound com- ing from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it should be returned for service.

4.NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. 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 which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the kitchen.

This model 0910UK has a HUSHTM control that is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to Section 3, OPER-

ATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire service. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the alarm.

5.MAINTENANCE

WARNING! ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE ALARM FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ALARM OR MOUNTING SURFACE.

BATTERY DEACTIVATION

This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approximately every 40-45 seconds, for a minimum of thirty (30) days, at the end of the life of the alarm to indicate that the alarm needs replacement. Contact the prop- erty owner or fire brigade to replace the alarm.

WARNING! DO NOT DEACTIVATE THE ALARM UNTIL THE END OF THE ALARM LIFE, WHEN A “CHIRP” IS HEARD EVERY 40-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE ALARM IS DEACTIVATED THE BATTERIES WILL BE DEPLEATED AND THE ALARM WILL NO LONGER FUNCTION.

WARNING! ONCE THE ALARM HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED, IT CANNOT BE REACTIVATED!
