engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the
alarm off of the bracket (see figure 5B).

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!

Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your
Combination Smoke/CO Alarm. The voice message warning
system will inform you of the type of situation occurring. Refer
to the Features section on pages 4-7 for a detailed description of
each alarm pattern.

What To Do If The Alarm Sounds

When the smoke alarm sounds:

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 located too close to the cooking area.
Large quantities of combustible particles are generated 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.
