Alarm, Maintenance, testing and care
Emergency actions
If the gas detector initiates an alarm signal or there is a smell of gas, keep calm and
carry out the following actions:
• Extinguish all naked flames, including all smoking material, e.g. candles, cigarettes.
• Turn off all gas appliances, e.g. gas heater, gas cooker.
• Do not switch on or off any electrical equipment, including the gas detector.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas main control.
• Open doors and windows to increase ventilation.
• Leave the building, warn your fellow residents and make sure they also leave.
• Do not use a telephone in the building where gas may be present.
• Call the fire brigade from outside the building - Emergency call: 112.
• Do not re-enter the building until you have ensured that there is no more gas
present.
If the gas alarm continues to operate, even after an alarm resetting action, where
appropriate, and the cause of the leak is not apparent and/or cannot be corrected,
vacate the premises and notify the gas supplier in order that the installation may
be tested and made safe.
Preventive measures
Inform every person in your household about the dangers of gas and the triggering
of a gas alarm. Make sure that in case of alarm each person knows what to do. Crea-
te an emergency evacuation plan from each room / floor to a designated meeting
point outside the house. Practice at least once a year the alarm with your family
and improve your escape routes and explanations if problems occur.
Maintenance, testing and care
The green "Power" LED must always be on. The LED shows you that the gas alarm is
turned on and everything is working properly. If the green LED is not on, first check
if the plug is still in or the socket is still live. If this does not seem to be the prob-
lem, the detector is likely to have an internal defect and must be exchanged.
Verify the unit's sound and LED light by pushing the "Test" button once a month.
The gas alarm is maintenance-free.
