Where should I install this heat alarm?

Install the heat alarm in kitchens, garages, and other rooms where smoke alarms might produce false alarms due to steam, fumes, or dust.

What is the purpose of the hardwire interlink?

The hardwire interlink allows compatible easichange alarms to communicate, so if one detects a fire, all interconnected alarms sound to provide early warning throughout the home.

Check the power supply and ensure the alarm is correctly connected to the baseplate. Verify the 9V battery is correctly installed and has power. Test the alarm using the test button.

False alarms.

Ensure the alarm is installed in an appropriate location, away from direct sources of steam or excessive dust. Test the alarm and ensure it functions correctly.
