Test
Test button
We recommend that you test operation of your self-contained smoke
detector/alarm once a week. Press the Test button briefly (less than 2 secs).
The Test button flashes red and emits an audible alarm.
Use this test to familiarise young children with this audible signal and explain
to them what to do if a fire breaks out in your home (see What to do in the
event of a fire paragraph). Always perform this test after a long absence.
Test aerosol for self-contained smoke detector/alarm
Optional test
Once or twice a year, you can check that the self-contained
smoke detector/alarm is working by using a test aerosol.
Care
A
B
A: Remove any dust from the fins with a vacuum cleaner or an antistatic
cloth.
B: Clean the detector all over with a sponge or damp cloth. It is essential
to keep the detector in a clean environment (without too much dust or
cobwebs) so that smoke can penetrate inside the detector.
The detector must not be painted.
What to do in the event of a fire
As soon as you detect a fire, keep calm. Evacuate the premises as quickly as
possible and take refuge in a smoke-free area. Lie on the ground so you can
breathe.
Call the emergency services.
