1. SAFETY
9This alarm is a smoke detector of the photo cell principle. This means that the alarm checks the air for smoke resulting from re. It
does not detect heat, gas or re.
9If the smoke detector is properly mounted and maintained it will sound an alarm at an early stage. In the event of a re it can give you
those extra seconds needed to vacate your home and call the re brigade.
9The alarm is designed to detect smoke, it can not prevent a re.
9Placing a smoke alarm is part of your re protection, just as: re extinguishers, emergency ladders, ropes, choice of materials used in
renovation are.
9Always ensure that you have an evacuation plan, and discuss this with your children. Ensure that each room can be left without
opening the door, e.g. by the window. If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the cause is an
actual re and the dwelling evacuated immediately.
8DO NOT paint the smoke alarm.
