PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY FROM FIRE

Putting up smoke alarms is one step in protecting your family from ﬁres. You must also reduce the chance a ﬁre will

start in your home, and have a plan for escaping safely if one does. To have a good ﬁre safety program, you must:

Develop a family escape plan and practice it with everyone in your family, including small children. 1) Draw a ﬂoor plan

of your home and identify at least two exits from each room and one way to get out of each bedroom without opening

the door; 2) Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from home, and make sure everyone knows to wait there; 3)

Know where to go to call the Fire Department from outside the home; 4) Make sure everyone—including all children—

know what the alarm signal means and how to react to it. Teach them they must be prepared to leave the home by

themselves if needed; 5) Hold ﬁre drills every 6 months and practice how to escape safely. Show children how to check

if doors are hot before opening them. Show them how to use an alternate exit if a door is hot and shouldn’t be opened.

Teach them to stay close to the ﬂoor and crawl if necessary.

Install at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in every sleeping area.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace smoke alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke

alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a ﬁre.

Keep at least one working ﬁre extinguisher on every ﬂoor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have ﬁre escape ladders

or other reliable means of escape from an upper ﬂoor in case stairs are blocked.

Follow safety rules, and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.

2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store ﬂammable materials in proper containers; 4) Keep electrical

appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, ﬁreplaces and

chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters

and open ﬂames, like candles, away from ﬂammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly

and remembering what you have practiced.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool,

open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door—use an alternate escape route.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably wet). Take short, shallow breaths.

• Keep doors and windows closed, unless you need to escape through them.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got

out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer and on creating your own family escape plan.

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE INSTALLING SMOKE ALARM

Read “Where To Install Smoke Alarms” and “Where Not To Install Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors

the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before ﬁre spreads.

This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing ﬁres if it is installed, maintained and located where smoke can

reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or ﬂame. It

cannot prevent or extinguish ﬁres.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

WARNING!

•This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you install special

units which use devices like ﬂashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired residents.

•Do not connect this unit to any other alarm or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit that

cannot be linked to other devices. Connecting anything else to this unit may prevent it from

working properly.

CAUTION!

•Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes

can prevent smoke from reaching the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming.

Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

•Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an

emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hearing. When testing the

unit, step back when the horn starts sounding.

•Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the sensing chamber and prevent

the unit from operating properly.

WARNING!

•The battery was shipped “backwards” in the smoke alarm to keep it fresh. The smoke alarm

cannot work until you remove the battery and reinstall it in the correct position (Follow

polarity markings in the battery compartment).

•This smoke alarm has a battery guard which prevents it from closing unless a battery is

installed. This warns you the unit will not operate without a battery.
