Safety information, Mounting

Before mounting:

This gas alarm must be installed by a competent person!
Warning
• Keep children away from the packaging - there is a risk of suffocation!
• Remove all packaging material before using the device.
Note
Determination of the installation location
Natural gas is lighter than air, so the gas will tend to rise and fill all the volume
above the level of escape. The gas alarm should be installed above the level of a
possible gas escape and near the ceiling, about 30 cm from the ceiling. For sloping
ceilings, the gas alarm should be installed with a distance of approx. 50 cm from
the roof ridge.
The gas alarm should not be installed
• In any outside location.
• In an area where the temperature may drop below 0°C or exceed 40°C.
• Directly above cooking appliances (Minimum distance of approx. 1 meter) or
adjacent to an extractor fan.
• Directly above a sink.
• Next to a door or window.
• In an enclosed space, e.g. behind a curtain or in furniture, e.g. cupboards.
• In a damp or humid location or where dirt and dust may block the sensor.

Recommendend installation locations
• The gas alarm should be installed in the room where a gas escape is most likely to
occur. This may be the kitchen because of the presence of a gas cooker and other
appliances.
• Natural gas is lighter than air, so the gas will tend to rise and fill all the volume
above the level of the escape. The gas alarm should be installed on the wall
above the level of a possible gas escape and near the ceiling (about 30 cm from
the ceiling), in a place where air movement are not impeded by furniture and
furnishings.
• Make sure you have a socket that can be reached with the connection cable,
length approx. 2,0 meters (do not use extension cables!).
• The TEST / RESET button should be easily reached.
• The alarm signal must be easily heard in case of gas leakage.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near the gas alarm!
