Before use
The optical smoke alarm cannot set
off an alarm signal if the smoke from
a fire does not reach it. The smoke
alarm may not sense fires inside
chimneys, walls, on top of roofs, on
the other side of a closed door or on a
different floor.
A smoke alarm can provide an early
warning in case of fire but it does not
prevent fires from occurring and is not
a substitute for an insurance policy.
When you have installed the smoke
alarm, make sure everyone in your
home knows what the alarm signal
sounds like and how to act if it goes
off. Especially children need guidance
how to act and where to go in case of
a fire – if a fire actually takes place,
you might not be able to reach them.
It is also a good idea to set up and
agree on an escape plan and then
practice a fire drill regularly. Test the
smoke alarm weekly.

• The alarm volume is at least 85dB
at a 3 meter (9.8 ft) distance.

use in temperatures ranging from
0˚C to 40˚C (32˚F - 104˚F) and
in climates with up to 90% relative
humidity.
Where to install the smoke alarm
The most important place to install
smoke alarms is in close vicinity of
bedrooms. Keep exit paths clear as
bedrooms are usually farthest away
from exits in your home.
If there is more than one bedroom
area in your home, place additional
alarms in each bedroom area. If
anyone in your home is a heavy
sleeper or sleeps with the door
closed, the smoke alarm must be
placed in a way that enables them to
hear the alarm signal well enough to
wake up if the alarm goes off.
For maximum safety, we recommend
that you also place a smoke alarm:
• in any stairway, as stairways act
like chimneys for smoke and heat
• on every floor level. You should
always install at least one smoke
alarm on every floor of your home.
