WHERE HEAT-ONLY MODE CAN BE USED
Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. To avoid false alarms, you
can install your detectors in heat-only mode in or near areas where
non-dangerous combustion particles are typically present but do not pose a fire hazard,
such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation. If the distance from the detector to
places where combustion particles are normally present is less than 20 feet (6 meters) –
such as in kitchens or mobile homes, install only the heat detector as far away from the
combustion particles as possible, preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide
good ventilation in such places.
IMPORTANT:
Never try to avoid false alarms by disabling the detector.

In damp or very humid areas or near bathrooms with showers. Moisture in humid air
can enter the sensing chamber, and then turns into droplets upon cooling, which can
cause false smoke alarms.

In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector's sensing
chamber, to make it overly sensitive.

Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the
detector from sensing smoke.
INSTALLATION
The smoke and heat detector is to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall, if necessary.
Since the smoke and heat detector is a single-station type, it cannot be linked to other
detectors.
WARNING:
Do not connect the smoke and heat detectors to any other alarm or auxiliary
device. Connecting anything else to this detector will prevent it from working
properly.
Read the "Where to install your smoke and heat detector" and "Where not to install your
smoke and heat detectors
To install the detector (see Figures 7 & 8)
1. Select the installation location.
2. Remove the locking pin securing the mounting bracket to the unit (see Figure 7).
3. Remove the mounting bracket from the unit by rotating it counterclockwise.
4. Use the bracket as a template for marking the mounting holes.
5. Using an appropriate drill, drill two holes at the marks and insert anchors.
6. Using screws (supplied) attach the bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 7.
