• 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 (Image 1A).  
• Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as  
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.  
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level (Image 1B).  
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

the alarm from waking the sleeper.  
Introduction  
• 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 construction.

Locations to Avoid  
• Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The  
door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or  
shower, forced air ducts used for heating or cooling,  
ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high  
air-flow areas.  
• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects  
will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the  
sensor to accurately detect conditions.  
• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame  
ceilings or gabled roofs. (Less than 10 cm (4") from the  
peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.)  
• Install at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent  
lights as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.  
SINGLE FLOOR PLAN  
IMAGE 1A  
MULTIPLE FLOOR PLAN  
IMAGE 1B  
• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively  
dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust particles may cause  
nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.  
• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral  
ceilings at or within 0.9 m (3') of the highest point  
(measured horizontally). NFPA Standard 72 states:  
“Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than  
0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be  
located on the high side of the room.” NFPA Standard  
72 states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and  
located within 0.9 m (3') of the peak of the ceiling  
measured horizontally” (Image 2B).  
• Extreme temperatures may effect the sensitivity of the  
alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is  
colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F).  
• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH)  
is greater than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or  
steam, can cause nuisance alarms.  
• Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms in kitchen areas.  
Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a  
kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence  
feature or be a photoelectric type.  
• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are  
present when you start your automobile.  
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guard s  
unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been  
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Mobile Homes  
Mobile homes built in the past five to seven years have  
been designed to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms  
as recommended in Recommended Locations and Image 2A.  
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 that 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 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the  
ceiling (Image 2A).

Models 0915CA, 0916CA, and 0918CA are designed to  
detect products of combustion using the ionization  
technique. They contain 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241,  
a radioactive material. Distributed under U.S. NRC License  
No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance with U.S.  
NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is  
exempt from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to  
repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to the instructions  
in Warranty section for service.  
HUSH Control Feature  
Models 0916CA, and 0918CA:  
®
The Hush button is extremely useful in a kitchen area or  
other areas prone to false alarms.  
®
The Hush feature has the capability of temporarily  
desensitizing the smoke alarm circuit for about 7 minutes.  
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm  
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the  
alarm.  
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always  
stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.  
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  
Locations to Avoid may have caused the alarm.  
• After installation, test your alarm by depressing and  
holding down the test button for a minimum of 2  
seconds. This will sound the alarm if the electronic  
circuitry, horn, and battery is working. If the alarm  
does not sound, the unit has a defective battery or  
another failure.  
®
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 andchirpevery  
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  
The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is installed  
and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization  
sensor chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will  
sound a loud (85db) alarm until the sensing chamber is  
cleared of smoke particles.  
approximately 7 minutes. If after this period particles of  
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.  
®
The Hush feature can be used repeatedly until the air  
has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.  
®
Pushing the Test button on the alarm will end the Hush  
False Alarms  
period.  
®
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms.  
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless  
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm.  
NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush control feature  
and sound a continuous alarm.  
®
CAUTION: Before using the alarm Hush feature, identify the  
source of the smoke and be certain a safe condition exists.  
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  
that vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also  
help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen.

Alarm Removal  
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,  
always stand an arms length away from the unit when testing.  
If the smoke alarm tamper resist feature has been  
activated, refer to the Alarm Tamper Resist Feature section  
for removal instructions.  
Test by pushing the Test button on the cover and hold it  
down for a minimum of 2 seconds. This will sound the  
alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are  
working. If the alarm does not sound, the unit has a  
defective battery or some other failure. DO NOT use an  
open flame to test your alarm, you could damage the  
alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a fire.  
To remove the alarm from the mounting plate, rotate the  
alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover.  
Battery Replacement  
This alarm has a low/missing battery 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. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.  
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  
Warranty section).  
Models 0915CA, 0916CA, PE9CA and 0918CA use a 9 V  
carbon zinc battery (alkaline and lithium batteries may also  
be used). A fresh battery should last for one year under  
normal operating conditions. Model 0916CA supplied with  
a long-life battery uses a lithium battery such as the  
Ultralife U9VL-J.  
This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing red  
indicator light. The red LED is located under the test  
button and will flash every 45 seconds to indicate that the  
smoke alarm is receiving power.  
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for replacement:  
When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds  
a loud 85db pulsating alarm, and the red LED rapidly  
flashes every 2 seconds, until the air is cleared.  
Carbon-Zinc Type Eveready 216 or 1222  
Gold Peak 1604P or 1604S  
Safety light equipped model 918CA will illuminate while  
the alarm sounds, until the sensing chamber is cleared of  
smoke particles.  
Alkaline Type  
Energizer 522  
Duracell MN1604 or MX1604  
Gold Peak 1604A  
Lithium Type  
Ultralife U9VL-J  
For photoelectric model PE9CA. This alarm will “chirp” if  
any components in the smoke sensing chamber fail. This  
chirp will occur between the flashes of the red LED  
indicator. (If the chirp occurs at the same time as the red  
LED flash see Battery Replacement section for low battery  
information.)  
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.  
WARNING: Use only the batteries specified above. Use of  
different batteries than the recommended ones, may have a  
detrimental effect on the smoke alarm. A good safety measure is  
to replace the battery at least once a year, or at the same time  
you change your clocks for daylight saving time. Be sure to  
follow the battery installation instructions printed on the back of  
the alarm.  
Alarms failing an alarm test, or not operating normally,  
must be replaced with a new alarm. Similarly, alarms more  
than 10 years old must be replaced.  
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!  
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 battery(ies) and will reset automatically.

Cleaning the Alarm  
Safety Light  
The alarm should be cleaned at least once a year.  
Model 0918CA  
• To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting plate  
as outlined in previous sections. You can clean the  
alarm by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner  
hose with a soft brush attachment. Blow or vacuum  
around the perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and  
dirt. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a  
damp cloth (do not use a wet cloth to avoid water  
entering the unit).  
NOTE: If the safety light appears dim during regular testing,  
replace both batteries immediately.  
Use only the following 9 volt batteries for powering the  
safet light:  
Alkaline Type  
Energizer 522  
Duracell MN1604 or MX1604  
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.  
• 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.  
The safety light has a 6.3 V 250mA fuse lamp with an  
average life of 50 hours. If the safety light fails to operate  
with a fresh alkaline battery, then replace the lamp.  
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and  
interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke.  
Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside.  
This action will void your warranty.  
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 (Image 3D, and Alarm Tamper Resist  
Feature section if this feature has been activated).  
Open the battery door and remove both batteries from the  
unit. Grip the lamp holder handle with your thumb and  
finger and pull out the lamp holder assembly. Slide the  
old lamp out of the lamp holder and replace it with a new  
lamp.  
Replacing the Alarm  
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Kidde  
recommend replacing this alarm ten years from the date  
code label (located on the back of the alarm).  
Replace with the correct lamp type: Vanco #FTB 6  
which is available at most radio/tv repair stores.  
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.  
CAUTION: Use only the lamp specified. Use of a different lamp  
may have a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm or the safety  
light operation.  
NOTE: The safety light is not intended to satisfy the  
requirements for approved illumination under various local  
codes. Very thick and/or dense smoke may obscure the light.

Fire Safety  
Fire Safety  
WARNING: Please read carefully and thoroughly.  
• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a  
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.  
• NFPA Standard 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 appropriate 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.  
• 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.  
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by  
providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a  
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners,  
landlords and tenants should have adequate insurance  
to protect their lives and property.  
• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early  
warning of possible fires at a reasonable cost; however,  
alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization type alarms  
offer a broad range of fire sensing capabilities but are  
better at detecting fast flaming fires than slow  
smoldering fires. Photoelectric alarms sense smoldering  
fires better than flaming fires. Home fires develop in  
different ways and are often unpredictable. Neither  
type of alarm (photoelectric or ionization) is always  
best, and a given alarm may not always provide  
warning of a fire.  
Good Safety Habits  
Develop and practice a plan of escape!  
• 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.  
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and  
at least two (2) escape routes from each room. Second  
story windows may need an escape ladder.  
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the  
specified type, in good condition and installed properly.  
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,  
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.  
• AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not  
operate if the AC power has been cut off, such as by an  
electrical fire or an open fuse.  
• Determine a place outside your home where you all  
can meet if a fire occurs.  
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm  
and train them to leave your home when they hear it.  
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the  
batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating  
condition.  
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including  
fire drills at night. Ensure that small children hear the  
alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in  
order to execute the escape plan. Practice allows all  
occupants to test your plan before an emergency. You  
may not be able to reach your children. It is important  
they know what to do.  
• 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.

Fire Safety  
Alarm Exit Procedure  
Additional Recommendations  
• Alert small children in the home.  
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72  
provides the following information:  
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second  
counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking  
up valuables.  
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,  
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and  
unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also  
shall be installed in each sleeping room.  
• 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 Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?  
Required number of smoke alarms (as shown in Image 1A  
and Image 1B): The required number of smoke alarms  
might not provide reliable early warning protection for  
those areas separated 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.  
• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. If possible do  
not breathe too deeply to avoid smoke inhalation.  
Breathe through a cloth (preferably 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!  
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms,  
dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not  
protected 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 operation.  
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that  
it is all right to do so.  
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be  
effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA  
Standard 72. For instance:  
- smoking in bed;  
- leaving children unsupervised;  
- cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.  
Alarms 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.  
NRC Information  
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 adjustments or maintenance. This smoke  
alarm meets or exceeds all government standards. It is  
manufactured and distributed under license from the U.S.  
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
