Hush mode
Smoke alarms are designed to minimise nuisance alarms.
Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. 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
boiling. The hush feature is extremely useful in a kitchen
area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms.
The hush mode has the capability of temporarily
desensitising the alarm circuit for up to 10 minutes. This
feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition,
such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is
discovered, get out and call the fire brigade. If no fire is
present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in
Locations to Avoid may have caused the alarm
The smoke alarm is desensitised by pushing the
Test/Hush button on the smoke alarm. If the smoke is
not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately. The
red LED will illuminate every 8 seconds to indicate that
the alarm is in a temporarily desensitised condition.
