TESTING & MAINTENANCE

WEEKLY TESTING

• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to

your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories,

Inc. (UL). NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty.

• DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be

harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using

the test button is the recommended way to test this smoke/CO alarm.

You can test this smoke/CO alarm: Press and hold the Test/Silence button 3-5 seconds until unit

starts to alarm. During testing, you will see and hear the following sequence:

• The Horn will sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps. The LED flashes Red.

• Next the Horn will sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The LED flashes Red.

If the unit does not alarm, make sure the batteries are correctly installed, and test

again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the smoke/CO alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the smoke/CO alarm using your household vacuum’s

soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer

instructions for use. Test the smoke/CO alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the smoke/CO alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and

cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY:

Your smoke/CO alarm requires two standard AA batteries. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements:

Eveready Energizer E91 or Duracell MN1500. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts

and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).

• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local regulations. Consult your

local waste management authority or recycling organization to find an electronics recycling facility

in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately contact your poison control

center, your physician, or the National Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.

Actual battery service life depends on the smoke/CO alarm and the environment in which it is installed. All the batteries

specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery

life, you MUST replace the battery immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “Low Battery Warning”).

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

• Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating instructions or to

potentially hazardous situations. Pay special attention to these items.

• This smoke/CO alarm is approved for use in single-family residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

• This combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarm has two separate alarms. The CO alarm is not designed

to detect fire or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.

carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. The smoke alarm will only indicate the presence of

smoke that reaches the sensor. The smoke alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or flames.

• This unit will not operate without battery power. The smoke/CO alarm cannot work until you activate the battery power pack.

• NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your Smoke/CO Alarm Sounds” for more information on

how to respond to an alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury or death.

• The Silence Features are for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. See “Using the Silence Features” for

details. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

• Test this smoke/CO alarm once a week. If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced

immediately! If the alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure

CO levels in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial

standards. Individuals with medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide may

consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under

30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition contact your physician.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for smoke alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is one smoke

alarm on every level, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See “Regulatory Information for Smoke Alarms” for

details on the NFPA recommendations). For CO alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that

a CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.

For added protection, install additional CO alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional smoke/CO alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace

or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes where this distance cannot be

maintained, install the alarm as far away as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the alarm

closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

IN GENERAL, INSTALL COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in

each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of first-to-second level stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where

temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F (4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

Smoke Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Fire Extinguisher

One on every level, plus

kitchen and garage

HALLWAY BEDROOMBEDROOM

GARAGE

LIVING ROOM KITCHEN

BASEMENT

When installing on the wall, the top edge of smoke alarms should be placed between 4

inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the alarm.

INSTALLING SMOKE/CO ALARMS IN MOBILE HOMES

For minimum security install one smoke/CO alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit

in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insulation. If your mobile home is

not well insulated, or if you are unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on inside walls only.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

DO NOT LOCATE THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include

poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of

combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance

is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the smoke alarm be placed as

far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these alarms

at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur

if a smoke alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents

can draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna, humidifier,

vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the sensors.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED (CONTINUED)...

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-

airconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm. To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install smoke alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not

possible, install the smoke alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of smoke alarms should be placed between 4

inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the first smoke alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak

of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional smoke alarms may be required depending on the length, angle,

etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

• This combination smoke/CO alarm was designed to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. It is not a tabletop device. You

must install this device on the ceiling or wall as outlined below. Read “Where to Install This Alarm” before starting.

• 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.

• 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.

This unit is designed to be mounted on the ceiling, or on the wall if necessary.

Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit, standard flathead screwdriver, hammer

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

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. Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace 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 level, and an additional

one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper level in case stairs are blocked.

accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services

responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance

technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this

equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion

equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly,

for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating

in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

INTRODUCTION

All First Alert

smoke alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to

detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which

tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread

quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles,

which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before

bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of smoke alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.

FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS

1. Hold base firmly and twist the mounting bracket clockwise to separate it from the base.

2. Hold the mounting bracket against the ceiling (or wall) so the two clusters of universal

mounting holes are aligned approximately at the 9:00 and 3:00 o’clock positions. See

image. Choose one of the three sets of holes shown, A, B or C (see image) and trace

around one of the sets. Be sure to choose a top and bottom slot on opposite sides so you

can rotate the universal mounting bracket into position later. This will make it easier in

the future to remove the mounting bracket without completely removing the screws.

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16" (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through the center of the oval outlines you traced.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws) into the holes. Tap the screw

anchors gently with a hammer, if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

Mounting Hole Sets

6. Install the screws but do not tighten completely. Attach the mounting bracket by aligning the screws in the open portion of the universal

mounting slots and rotating the bracket into place. Tighten the screws until they are snug to secure the bracket. Do not over tighten.

7. Install the batteries (included). Open the battery door. Match the terminals on the ends of each battery with the

terminals on the unit. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the batteries in until they snap securely and cannot

be shaken loose. If the batteries are not snapped in completely, the unit cannot receive battery power.

NOTE: After you install the batteries, the power indicator light may flash. (If the unit alarms, the

light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.)

8. Position the base of the alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. Turn the alarm clockwise until the unit is in place.

9. Test the alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”
