1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS
Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the
exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one
sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Mobile homes built in the past five to seven years have been designed to be energy
efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOMMENDED
LOCATIONS and Diagram A).
•
•
Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for
smoke and heat.
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme
heat or cold can be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated
walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent the smoke from
reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarm on
an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maxi-
mum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see Diagram A).
•
•
•
Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are operated (i.e.
portable heaters or humidifiers).
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the
outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For
minimum protection, install at least one alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional
protection, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in Diagram B.
•
•
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The
closed door may prevent the alarm from waking the sleeper.
Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally.
Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest
to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential con-
struction.
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER R.V. OR MOBILE
HOME VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT
LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
•
For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barriers that
may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION below.

and arrow are facing up. Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the
mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for anchors).
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.
In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to alarm.
In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.
In insect-infested areas.
4. Battery installation instructions are provided on the inside of the battery door for
Safety Light and Smoke Alarm use. To ensure proper installation of the Safety
Light and Smoke Alarm battery follow the instructions.
CAUTION! MAKE SURE TO INSTALL THE PROPER LONG LIFE BATTERY (SEE
SECTION 6) IN THE COMPARTMENT THAT POWERS THE SMOKE ALARM
AND THE ALKALINE BATTERY IN THE COMPARTMENT THAT POWERS THE
SAFETY LIGHT. REVERSING THESE WILL ELIMINATE THIS SMOKE ALARM’S
LONGLIFE BATTERY CAPABILITY AND MAY DAMAGE THE SAFETY LIGHT.
Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the door to a
kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air ducts used for
heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
5. When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger down into the battery
compartment and install the battery (see Figure 3).
•
•
Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it
should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGERS ARE NOT HELD DOWN
IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERIES, THE BATTERY
DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, AND THE UNIT WILL NOT ATTACH TO
THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
6. Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the trim plate and the alarm. After
installing the mounting plate, place the alarm on the mounting plate with the align-
ment marks lined up. Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow
on the alarm cover (see Figure 4) until it locks in place.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
When wall mounting,
the “A” line should
be horizontal and
the “UP FOR WALL
MOUNTING” arrow
must be pointing up.
When mounting
in a hallway, the
“A” line should
be parallel with
the hallway.
7. USING TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To
make your smoke alarm somewhat tamper
resistant, a locking pin has been provided in
the bag with the screws and anchors. Using
this pin will deter children and others from
removing the alarm from the mounting plate.
To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the
side of the alarm after the alarm has been

FIGURE 4
1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate
and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm
cover.
SAFETY LIGHT: The model 0918K has a Safety Light feature. When the smoke alarm
ionization chamber senses smoke, the 85db horn will sound and the Safety Light will
flash until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
2. To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or wall, the “A” line on the
mounting plate must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounting or horizontal
when wall mounting.
NOTE: THE SAFETY LIGHT IS NOT INTENDED TO SATISFY THE REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR APPROVED ILLUMINATION UNDER VARIOUS LOCAL CODES.
VERY THICK AND/OR DENSE SMOKE MAY OBSCURE THE LIGHT.
3. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1, attach the
mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in Figure 1. For wall mounting see Figure 2.
Place mounting plate on the wall. Be sure the “UP FOR WALL MOUNTING “ text
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing
the alarm circuit for approximately 7 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a
known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The

smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the “HUSH” button on the smoke alarm
cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately and “chirp”
every 30 -40 seconds for approximately 7 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in
a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after
approximately 7 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still pres-
ent. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button will end the hush peri-
od.
(included Longlife lithium battery is warranted for ten years) This alarm has a low bat-
tery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp’” approximately every 30 - 40
seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. The chirp will
be accompanied by a flash of the Safety Light. Replace both batteries when this
condition occurs.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM
REPLACEMENT.
Carbon Zinc Type:
Alkaline Type:
EVEREADY 216 OR 1222;
GOLD PEAK 1604P OR 1604S
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL FEATURE AND
SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
EVEREADY 522; DURACELL MN1604, MX1604
GOLD PEAK 1604A
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE
SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
Lithium Type:
ULTRALIFE U9VL
FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing red indicator
light. The light is located under the test button and will flash every 30 - 40 seconds
to indicate that the smoke alarm is receiving power.
The Safety Light portion is powered by one (1) 9V alkaline battery. Under normal
(standby) conditions, the battery should last at least one year and provide 15 minutes
of illumination when the alarm is sounding.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding it down for a
minimum of 2 seconds. This will sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn,
and battery are working. When the alarm sounds, the Safety Light will illuminate. If
no alarm sounds and the Safety Light does not illuminate, the unit has defective bat-
teries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could dam-
age the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.
NOTE: REGULAR TESTING IS RECOMMENDED. IF THE SAFETY LIGHT
APPEARS DIM DURING REGULAR TESTING, REPLACE BOTH BATTERIES
IMMEDIATELY.
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT ALKALINE BATTERIES FOR SAFETY LIGHT
REPLACEMENT
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low
sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it should be
returned for service (see Section 11).
Alkaline Type:
Eveready 522 or Duracell MN1604, MX1604
WARNING!! USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE ALARM
OR THE SAFETY LIGHT.
5. NUISANCE ALARMS
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance 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 the alarm is located 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.
LAMP REPLACEMENT: The Safety Light has a 6.3 volt 250mA fuse type lamp (aver-
age life of 50 hours). If the Safety Light does not operate with a fresh alkaline battery,
replace the lamp. To replace the lamp, remove the alarm from the mounting bracket
by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover (see Section 3,
Figure 1 for removal, and Section 3, Figure 5 if tamper resist pin is used).
Open the battery door and remove both batteries from the unit. Grip the lamp holder
handle with your thumb and finger (see Figure 6) and pull out the lamp holder assem-
bly (see Figure 7). Slide the old lamp out of the lamp holder and replace it with a new
lamp (see Figure 8).
Model 0918K has a “HUSH” control that is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other
areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to Section 4, OPERATION
AND TESTING.
Reinstall the lamp holder. It will snap easily into the base. Put working batteries back
in the alarm and remount the alarm on its mounting bracket.
If the alarm does sound, 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 in
Section 2 may have caused the alarm.
REPLACE WITH THE CORRECT LAMP TYPE: Vanco #FTB 6 is available at most
radio/tv repair parts stores. The lamp is also available from KIDDE Safety, 1394 S.
Third Street, Mebane, NC 27302. Send $1.50 (check or money order) and request a
0918 replacement lamp.
6. MAINTENANCE

have adequate insurance to protect their lives and property.
•
Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen,
basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
NOTE: IF AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT THE UNIT CONTINUES TO CHIRP,
WAIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MINUTES. THE “HUSH” FEATURE MAY HAVE
BEEN ACTIVATED ACCIDENTALLY WHILE CHANGING THE BATTERIES AND
PUSHING THE TEST BUTTON WILL END THE HUSH CYCLE.
8. GOOD SAFETY HABITS
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
CLEANING YOUR ALARM
•
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.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the beginning
of this section. You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using
compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the
openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped
with a damp cloth.
•
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.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation, the alarm should be replaced.
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave
your home when they hear it.
•
Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan
before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important
they know what to do.
7. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
•
NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily
on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropri-
ate egress actions by those occupants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims
are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or mentally impaired
such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should
be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or
assisted escape or rescue are necessary.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
•
Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste
time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
•
In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if
you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your
alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open
it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
•
Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible fires at a rea-
sonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization type alarms
offer a broad range of fire sensing capabilities but are better at detecting fast flam-
ing fires than slow smoldering fires. Photoelectric alarms sense smoldering fires
better than flaming fires. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpre-
dictable. Neither type of alarm (photoelectric or ionization) is always best,
and a given alarm may not always provide warning of a fire.
•
Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if
possible.
•
•
•
Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from yours!
Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
•
•
•
•
A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condi-
tion and installed properly.
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire
as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
A.C. powered alarms will not operate if the A.C. power has been cut off, such as
by an electrical fire or an open fuse.
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm
circuits are in good operating condition.
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a pamphlet titled “IN A
FIRE SECONDS COUNT” published by the NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269
Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm.
Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs,
on the other side of a closed door or on a different floor.
•
•
If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake
up a sound sleeper.
9. NRC INFORMATION
The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the smoke alarm.
For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area
on every level of a home.
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 adjust-
ments or maintenance. This smoke alarm meets or exceeds all government stan-

Regulatory Commission.
TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
KIDDE Safety warrants to the original purchaser that the enclosed smoke
alarm (but not the battery) will be free from defects in material and workman-
ship or design under normal use and service for a period of ten years from
the date of purchase. The obligation of KIDDE Safety under this warranty is
limited to repairing or replacing the smoke alarm or any part which we find to
be defective in material, workmanship or design, free of charge to the cus-
tomer, upon sending the smoke alarm with proof of date of purchase,
postage and return postage prepaid, to Warranty Service Department, KIDDE
Safety, 1394 South Third St., Mebane, NC 27302.
10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following
information:
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate
vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, includ-
ing basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construc-
tion, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of
smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas sep-
arated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this
reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke
alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not pro-
tected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in the
kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as
these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper opera-
tion.
This warranty shall not apply to the smoke alarm if it has been damaged,
modified, abused or altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to operate
due to improper maintenance or inadequate A.C. or D.C. electrical power.
THE LIABILITY OF KIDDE SAFETY OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR SUB-
SIDIARY CORPORATIONS ARISING FROM THE SALE OF THIS SMOKE
ALARM OR UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT
IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF SMOKE ALARM
AND, IN NO CASE, SHALL KIDDE SAFETY OR ANY OF ITS PARENT OR
SUBSIDIARY CORPORATIONS BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF THE SMOKE ALARM OR
FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE COMPA-
NY’S NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association’s Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANY OF YOUR
SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.
Since some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied war-
ranty or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. While
this warranty gives you specific legal rights, you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATE FIRE MARSHAL)
Also, KIDDE Safety makes no warranty, express or implied, written or oral,
including that of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, with
respect to the battery.
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equip-
ment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows. A smoke alarm installed in
each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or
smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics,
furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.”
The above warranty may not be altered except in writing signed by both par-
ties hereto.
