• Smoke / Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
The supplier or manufacturer is not your insurer.
• The chamber inside the Ionisation Smoke Alarms (Ei181)
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.
Do not dispose of your Alarm in a fire.
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.
PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE FOR WHEN
THE ALARM GOES OFF
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.
2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out,
staying close to floor. Take short
breaths, if possible, through a wet
cloth or hold your breath. More
people die from smoke inhalation
than from flames.
3. Get out as fast as you can. Do
not stop for packing. Have a
prearranged meeting place outside
for all family members. Check
everybody is there.
4. Call the Fire Brigade from a
neighb our's house. Remember to
give your name and address.
5. NEVER re-enter a burning
house.
