Smoke Detector with Silence Control
(490-0466)                    Features                Faxback Doc. # 15977


The smoke alarm is designed to minimize false alarms.  Smoking will not
normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into the
detector.  Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the
detector is located close to the kitchen cooking surface.  Large
quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or broiling.
An alarm with a shut-off device is preferable in a kitchen environment for
this reason.

If the detector does alarm, 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 above may have caused the alarm.

This unit has a silence control which can cut off the alarm during
cooking, etc.  The silence mode will give a beep every 30-40 seconds for
an audible indication of being silenced.
