Smoke alarms are designed to work safely only within these temperature ranges, and failure to alarm, improper alarms or nuisance alarms may result from operation outside these temperature limits. • Do not install a smoke alarm in a damp or very humid areas such as bathrooms with showers, where the normal humidity may rise above 93% relative humidity. Above this level, moisture may condense inside the smoke chamber and cause wrong or false alarms. • Do not install a smoke alarm in an area where particles of combustion are normally present, such as kitchens or automobile garages, unless the smoke alarm has a False Alarm Control feature. Continued on page 6 5 IMPORTANT INFORMATION SMOKE ALARM SAFETY CHECKLIST PIN THIS UP CLOSE TO YOUR SMOKE ALARM IN AN EASY-TO-READ LOCATION AND REVIEW BOTH SIDES OFTEN Before installing, using and maintaining your smoke alarm read the entire Owner’s Manual and Warranty, and keep it in a convenient location for reference. 1. Test your smoke alarm every week. To test the electronics, firmly depress the button. To test that smoke reaches the sensor, blow smoke in a careful fire-safe manner into your smoke alarm. 2. Your smoke alarm will not work without power. Never shut off its power or remove the battery to quiet the alarm. FOR BATTERY-POWERED UNITS: When your smoke alarm “beeps” about once a minute, the battery is weak. Immediately install a new battery correctly. Be sure to use only batteries specified in Owner’s Manual or on unit. Test unit after installing a new battery. 3. Clean and vacuum the openings on your smoke alarm once a month. 4. Do not open the smoke alarm or try to repair it. For replacement information see the WARRANTY in the Owner’s Manual. 5. Verify you have the proper number of smoke alarms in your home and the correct location for each one. A smoke alarm will not respond well in an incorrect location. 6. If your smoke alarm has one or more of these special features, please note: • FALSE ALARM CONTROL (Model C): Pushing test/hush button reduces sensitivity for up to 15 minutes, minimizing nuisance alarms. • FLASHING LIGHT (Model E): Pushing test button turns flashing safety light on. Very thick smoke may obscure light. 7. Smoke alarms have technical limitations and may not respond in all situations. FIRE PREVENTION is your best safeguard. 8. For a replacement Owner’s Manual or Safety Checklist, please indicate your unit model, include a self-addressed stamped envelope and send to: Maple Chase Company 2820 Thatcher Road Downers Grove, Illinois 60515-4040 For product service information please see WARRANTY in Owner’s Manual. 110-644 OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY AND HOME SAFER FROM FIRES Installing, testing and taking care of smoke alarms is just one step in helping to protect your family and home from fires. You must also reduce the chance that fire will start in your home and increase your chances of escaping if one does start. For your safety, at a minimum, you should do the following to have a more effective fire safety program. A. FOLLOW SAFETY RULES AND PREVENT HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS • Use smoking materials properly—never smoke in bed or when sleepy or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. • Keep matches and other fire starters away from children. • Store flammable materials in proper containers and never store or use them near open flames or sparks. • Keep electrical appliances and cords in good working condition, and do not overload electrical circuits. • Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys and barbecue grills clean and make sure they are properly installed away from combustible materials. • Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from combustible materials. • Do not allow rubbish to accumulate. B. DEVELOP A FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN AND PRACTICE IT REGULARLY WITH YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY ESPECIALLY SMALL CHILDREN • Draw a floor plan of your home and find TWO ways to exit from each room. There should be a way to get out of each bedroom without opening the door. • Teach children what the smoke alarm signal means, and that they must be ready to leave the home or residence by themselves if necessary. Show them how to check to see if doors are hot before opening them, how to stay close to the floor and crawl, and how to use the alternate exit if a door is hot and should not be opened. • Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from your house and make sure all your children understand they should go and wait for you there if there is a fire. • Hold fire drills every six (6) months to make sure everyone, even small children, know what to do to escape safely. • Know where to go to call the fire department from outside your residence. • Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and teach your family how and when to use this equipment. C. WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS A FIRE IN YOUR HOME After you have prepared family escape plans and practiced them with your family, you have increased their chances of escaping safely. Review t...
