Frequently Asked Questions - CV2208 KIDDE
How do I install the Kidde CV2208 smoke detector?
Remove the mounting bracket from the alarm by twisting. Attach the bracket to the ceiling or wall with the provided screws and anchors. Insert the 9V battery, then twist the alarm onto the bracket until it clicks into place. Test the alarm immediately.
How do I test the smoke alarm?
Press and hold the Test/Hush button for at least 5 seconds. The alarm should sound loudly. If it does not sound or is weak, replace the battery immediately.
How do I replace the battery?
Twist the alarm counterclockwise to remove from bracket. Open the battery compartment and replace with a new 9V alkaline battery. Reattach the alarm and test.
What does a chirp every 30-60 seconds mean?
A single chirp indicates low battery. Replace the battery as soon as possible. If chirping continues after battery replacement, the unit may be at end-of-life.
What does two chirps every 30 seconds mean?
Two chirps indicate the alarm has reached its end-of-life (approximately 10 years from manufacture). The alarm must be replaced immediately.
How do I silence a nuisance alarm?
Press the Test/Hush button to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. The unit will automatically reset after that period. Ensure the source of smoke or steam is cleared.
How do I clean the smoke detector?
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently vacuum the vents on all sides of the alarm at least once a month. Do not use water or cleaners.
Where should I install the smoke alarm?
Install on the ceiling at least 4 inches from walls, or on walls 4-12 inches below the ceiling. Avoid kitchens (10 feet from cooking appliances), bathrooms, garages, and areas with high humidity or temperature extremes.
How long does the Kidde CV2208 last?
The smoke alarm has a 10-year limited warranty and is designed to last approximately 10 years from date of manufacture. The end-of-life warning will indicate when replacement is needed.
What should I do if the alarm goes off while cooking?
Press the Hush button to silence the alarm temporarily. Ensure the area is ventilated. Move the alarm further from the kitchen if false alarms persist, or install a photoelectric model (like CV2208) with a hush feature.
