What to do When the Alarm Sounds!

Smoke Alarm Procedure

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cook- ing may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cook- ing area. Large quantities of combustion particles are generat- ed 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 combustion particles from the kitchen.

If the alarm sounds, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with these steps and review with all family members:

•Alert small children in the home.

•Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.

•In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

•If the air is smoky, stay close to the floor. Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.

•Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.

•Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from yours!

•Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.

Important Warning Statements

IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND KEEP THIS MANUAL NEAR THE ALARM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING: BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND/OR ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO MOUNTING BRACKET UNLESS BATTERY IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

REMOVAL OF BATTERY WILL RENDER THE SMOKE ALARM INOPERATIVE.

WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER RV OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

CAUTION: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM (85 DECIBELS), ALWAYS STAND AN ARMS-LENGTH AWAY FROM THE UNIT WHEN TESTING.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS. NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

SMOKE ALARMS ARE DEVICES THAT CAN PROVIDE EARLY WARN- ING OF POSSIBLE FIRES AT A REASONABLE COST; HOWEVER, ALARMS HAVE SENSING LIMITATIONS. IONIZATION SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT INVISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH FAST FLAMING FIRES) SOONER THAN PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS. PHOTOELECTRIC SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT VISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW SMOLDERING FIRES) SOONER THAN IONIZATION ALARMS. HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE. FOR MAXI- MUM PROTECTION, KIDDE RECOMMENDS THAT BOTH IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS BE INSTALLED.

The PI9000 model introduces another important safety feature: a voice alarm system that provides clear alerts to occupants, distinguishing between smoke and carbon monoxide, if combined with Kidde carbon monoxide alarms. This feature increases the effectiveness of emergency responses, as occupants can quickly identify the nature of the threat.

All these alarms come equipped with battery status indicators to ensure operational readiness, and their sleek, compact designs allow for easy installation and integration into any decor. Kidde smoke alarms are also built with tamper-resistant features, preventing unauthorized removal, ensuring that these essential safety devices remain in place.
