The smoke detector must not be used in the fol-
lowing areas:
1. Near flammable electrical appliances or in areas such as in
the kitchen, near furniture, or water heaters. If necessary,
you must install a suitable special smoke detector in such
areas.
2. In areas with high temperatures – e.g., near dishwashers or
washing machines – the smoke detector must be installed at
a distance of at least 3 meters from these machines.
3. The smoke detector must be installed at a distance of at
least 1 meter near air conditioning systems or ex-
haust/supply ventilation or fans. Smoke disperses very
quickly in the immediate vicinity of these machines. The
smoke detector cannot react reliably to smoke under these
environmental conditions.
4. In rooms with an ambient temperature below 4 °C or above
37 °C.
5. In very dusty or dirty areas and in areas where there are a
lot of insects.

stalled and is working properly.
