LED INDICATOR: This smoke alarm is equipped with a red LED indi-

cator. The red LED is located under the test button and has two

modes of operation.

Standby Condition The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds

to indicate that the smoke alarm is

operating properly.

Alarm Condition When the alarm senses products of

combustion and goes into alarm, the red

LED will flash rapidly (one flash per second).

The rapid flashing LED and temporal alarm

will continue until the air is cleared.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it

down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the alarm if

the electronic circuitry and horn and battery are working. When

the alarm sounds, the Safety Light will illuminate. If the alarm does

not sound, 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.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic

or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective

alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 12).

5. 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 gener-

ated 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.

(If equipped) Model 0918 has a “HUSH” button that is extremely

useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms.

For more information, refer to Section 4 OPERATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,

get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to

see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the

alarm.
