0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 2 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 cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or when broiling.

0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 5 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms. Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area (See FIGURE 3). • Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat. FIGURE 1 • Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 6 1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms • Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1 m) long. For large rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square feet of floor space. • In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof.
0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 7 2. Locations To Avoid • In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile. • Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling. • In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics; this should also include electrical boxes exposed to these environments. • In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to alarm.

0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 13 7. Limitations of Smoke Alarms ! WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY • NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible.
0930-7206-02_EN:_ 2017.4.6 4:10 PM Page 14 8. Good Safety Habits DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE • Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder. • Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire. • Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs.

CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHAL) Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioactive element in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisible combustion products. The radioactive element is safely contained in the chamber and requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke alarm meets or exceeds all government standards. It is manufactured and distributed under license from the U.S.
