What to do when you hear the alarm?
• Leave the premises immediately. Every second counts – there is no time to get
dressed or gather valuable belongings. Use the emergency escape routes.
• Warn your fellow residents and make sure they also leave – especially children
and people with impaired hearing.
• Do not open doors without first checking the surface. Do not open a door if it
is hot or you see smoke under it. Use an alternative escape route. If the surface
is cool, push against it with your shoulder, slightly open it and be prepared to
close it again if there is heat, smoke or fire behind it.
• If there is smoke in the air, keep close to the floor and breathe through a damp
cloth if possible.
• Close the doors after leaving the room.
• Once you have left the building, go to the agreed assembly point and do not go
back inside.
• Call the fire brigade from outside the burning building.
• Notify the fire brigade of the situation inside the building.
What to do if there is a false alarm?
• A false alarm can occur due to very high air humidity, the build-up of smoke
whilst cooking or a large build-up of dust, for example.
• If the alarm sounds, first get yourself to safety. If you are certain that it is a false
alarm, you can mute the alarm tone by pressing the test button. The alarm will
continue to be indicated optically by the flashing LED.
• The smoke detector will switch off automatically once the smoke particles have
left the smoke chamber inside the detector.
