5 Year Limited Warranty
Kidde warrants that the enclosed alarm (but not the
battery) will be free from defects in material and
workmanship or design under normal use and service
for a period of five years from the date of purchase.
The obligation of Kidde under this warranty is limited
to repairing or replacing the alarm or any part w h i c h
we find to be defective in material, workmanship or
design, free of charge, upon sending the alarm with
proof of date of purchase, postage and return postage
prepaid, to: Kidde, Customer Service Department, 130
Esna Park Drive, Markham ON L3R 1E3.
This warranty shall not apply to the 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 AC or DC power.
Any implied warranties arising out of this sale,
including but not limited to the implied warranties of
description,merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose, are limited in duration to the above warranty
period. In no event shall Kidde be liable for loss of
use of this product or for any indirect, special,
incidental or consequential damages, or costs, or
expenses incurred by the consumer or any other user
of this product, whether due to a breach of contract,
negligence, strict liability in tort or otherwise. Kidde
shall have no liability for any personal injury, property
damage or any special, incidental, contingent or
consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas
leakage, fire or explosion.
Since some provinces do not allow limitations of the
duration of an implied warranty 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 province to province.

Additional Recommendations
Required number of smoke alarms: Smoke alarms
should be installed outside of each separate sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on
each additional story of the family living unit (home),
including basements.
Some jurisdictions require that in new construction, a
smoke alarm be installed in each sleeping room.
Check with local officials for specific regulations
concerning your situation.
The required number of smoke alarms (protected areas
mentioned above) might not be reliable enough to
provide early warning for unprotected areas that are
separated by a door. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms for those unprotected areas,
for increased protection. Additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room,
utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required number of smoke alarms.
The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally
recommended, as these locations occasionally
experience conditions that can result in improper
operation.
