IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

precautions should always be followed, including those listed
below:
•
Please read all instructions.

Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows
what to do in case the alarm sounds. Further information can be
obtained from the Home Office Publication entitled "Smoke
Detectors in the Home" (FB2) or from your local fire prevention
officer.
•
NOTE: Constant exposure to high or freezing temperatures or high
humidity may reduce the life of the rechargeable cells.
•
To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover smoke
alarm in any manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs,
dust or grease.
•
If unit has been damaged in any way or does not function
properly,do not attempt a repair. Return Alarm (see - Getting your
Alarm Serviced).

This appliance is only intended for premises having a residential
type environment.
•
Smoke / Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The
supplier or manufacturer is not your insurer.

contains a small amount of radioactive material. Do not tamper
with the chamber. You may safely install and clean the Smoke
Alarm following this leaflet's instructions.

Ionisation Smoke Alarms can be disposed of in normal household
rubbish, no more than one alarm per dustbin.
PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE FOR
WHEN THE ALARM GOES OFF
Use the Smoke / Heat Alarm Test Buttons to familiarize your
family with the Alarm sound and to practice fire drills regularly
with all family members. Draw up a floor plan that will show
each member at least 2 escape routes from each room in the
house. Children tend to hide when they don't know what to
do. Teach children how to escape, open windows, and use roll
up fire ladders and stools without adult help. Make sure they
know what to do if the alarm goes off - see below.
1. Check room doors for heat or
smoke. Do not open a hot door.
Use an alternate escape route.
Close doors behind you as you
leave.
