IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY
IMPORTANT!
Smoke alarms may not operate properly because of dead power cells, a build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the smoke
alarm cover, or installation in an improper location. Clean the smoke alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,”
then test the smoke alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the problem persists,
replace the smoke alarm immediately.
If the smoke alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty, send it, shipping prepaid, along with original
purchase receipt (or write down date purchased), to: BRK Brands, Inc., Attn.: Consumer Affairs, 3920 Enterprise Court,
Aurora, IL 60504-8132. Enclose a note in the package describing what is wrong with the unit.
10-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Coverage:
BRK Brands, Inc. warrants its enclosed smoke alarm to be free from defects in materials and workmanship
under normal use for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. During the first year after the date of purchase,
BRK Brands, Inc. will replace any defective smoke alarm without charge. During the next nine years, BRK Brands, Inc.
will replace any defective smoke alarm at a charge to you not to exceed BRK Brands, Inc.’s cost. This is your exclusive
warranty.
This warranty is valid for the original retail purchaser from the date of initial retail purchase and is not transferable. Keep
the original sales receipt. Proof of purchase is required to obtain warranty performance. Dealers, service centers, or
retail stores selling this product do not have the right to alter, modify or any way change the terms and conditions of this
warranty. In new construction, if your smoke alarms were installed by a contractor, this warranty is valid for the
homeowner at the time of installation from the date of original installation and is not transferable.
This warranty does not cover normal wear of parts or damage resulting from any of the following: negligent use or
misuse of the product, use on improper voltage, current or battery, use contrary to the operating instructions,
disassembly, repair or alteration by anyone other than BRK Brands, Inc. Further, the warranty does not cover acts of
God, such as fire, flood, hurricanes and tornadoes.
BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by the breach of any express or
implied warranty. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for
a particular purpose is limited in duration for 10 years. Some states, provinces, or jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights that vary from state to state, or province to province.
Service:
Units under warranty and in need of repair should be returned, shipping prepaid, to BRK Brands, Inc., Attn.:
Consumer Affairs, 3920 Enterprise Court, Aurora, IL 60504-8132.
