If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house 
immediately. Stay calm and follow your family escape plan. Stay as low to the ground as possible, and cover your 
mouth with a damp cloth. Never open a door before testing to see if it is hot. Call the Fire Department from outside, and 
give them your address, then name. Read “What To Do In Case Of Fire” for more information.

If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire—cooking smoke or an extremely dusty 
furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and fan the smoke away from the unit. This will silence the alarm, 
and once the smoke clears the unit will reset automatically. 

 

Smoke alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or weak batteries, 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,” and install a fresh battery, 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 to 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. 

 

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.

 

 Units under warranty and in need of repair should be returned, shipping prepaid, to BRK Brands, Inc., Attn.: Consumer
