PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Testing
The alarm is provided with a test button. Push it in until the alarm
sounds. The signal stops when the button is released. Test the
alarm at least once a month.
Cleaning
For the best performance, the smoke detector must be dusted
once a month and vacuumed every 6 months. Remove the
detector from the ceiling plate and carefully vacuum the inside of
the detector. Do not touch the inside with the nozzle of the
vacuum cleaner. Then test the alarm.
Advice : Cover the smoke detector during renovation work.
Caution : The smoke detector loses its effectiveness if it is
covered.
Warning : The smoke detector should not be painted / taped. Do
not test the smoke detector with candles, flames,
cigarettes, etc.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS IN CASE OF FIRE ALARM
A smoke detector is part of your fire protection together with fire
extinguishers, escape ladders, ropes as well as your choice of
building materials during renovations. Also make sure that there is
an escape route; discuss this with your children, make sure any room
can be evacuated without opening the door,
-9-
for example through a window. If the alarm is not working properly,
consult the instructions of the supplier. Keep the manual within reach
(e.g. in the electrical meter box or a toolbox). The local fire depart-
ment can provide more information about fire prevention. Keep the
smoke detector away from children.
Warning
If there is any doubt about the cause of the alarm, assume that there
really is a fire and carry out your emergency plan. Please do not
assume that it is a false alarm. Dust can cause excessive sensitivity.
Vacuum as indicated above. Do not paint the smoke detector.
False alarm
Unusual atmospheric conditions may be the cause that the very
sensitive smoke detector gives a false alarm. If there is no fire,
ventilate the room and / or blow clean air in the smoke detector, for
example, by waving a newspaper under the smoke detector until the
alarm stops. Once it is clean, there is an automatic reset.
Recommendation
We recommend that you do not use smoke detectors that are older
than 10 years in order to limit the risk of defects. The smoke detector
is not a substitute for insurance for furniture, home, life, or other
form of insurance. The smoke detector should be replaced on the
date indicated by the manufacturer on the smoke detector.
