•This heat alarm can only sound its alarm when it detects temperatures of 135o F or greater. Heat alarms do not sense smoke, fire or gas. In some fires, hazardous levels of toxic chemicals and smoke can build up before a heat alarm will operate. Temperatures may not reach 135o F to activate the heat alarm quickly enough to ensure safe escape.
•Heat alarms have limitations. This heat alarm is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property. Heat alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters should insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the heat alarm to fail at any time.
