installation and keep for future reference. Please ensure that this leaflet remains in the household where the alarm is installed.
WARNING: This smoke alarm is designed to alert you to the presence of
not be effective such as smoking in bed, explosions, etc. The ultimate responsibility for fire protection rests with you, this responsibility includes escape
planning, safety checks and an effective warning system. In case of fire, a well-placed, properly looked after smoke alarm may provide a few seconds
so that you can escape and call the fire brigade.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. The battery must be operational to operate the alarm
correctly. To test the battery,press the test button on this
smoke alarm.
2. The test button sufficiently tests all smoke alarm
functions. DO NOT use any other test method.
3. DO NOT remove or disconnect alarm to silence
unwanted sounding, this will remove your protection.
Press the hush button or open windows to ventilate the
smoke alarm to silence it.
4. This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single
dwelling only. In buildings with several dwellings/units,
each individual living unit should have their own smoke
alarms.
5. Install a smoke alarm on every level of the home.
6. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the air,
they do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm
is designed to give an audible warning of a developing
fire, however, many fires are fast burning, explosive or
intentional. Others are caused by carelessness or safety
hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm quickly
enough to ensure safe escape.
7. Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not
fool proof and is not warranted to protect lives or property
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for
insurance. Homeowners and renters should insure their
lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke
alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test
the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.
Locating and Positioning of Smoke Alarms:
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you should fit an alarm in the hallway
between the living areas (incl. kitchens) and sleeping areas. Place it as near to the living areas as
possible and ensure the alarm is audible when the bedrooms are occupied.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection one alarm should be fitted at the bottom of the
staircase with further alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes basements but excludes crawl
spaces and unfinished attics.
NOTE: For maximum protection, an alarm should be fitted in every room (except kitchen, bathroom and garage).
DO NOT FIT AN ALARM IN THE KITCHEN or BATHROOM, as cooking fumes or steam may trigger the alarm.
DO NOT FIT ALARM IN A GARAGE, as exhaust fumes are likely to set it off.
Ceiling Mounting
As hot smoke rises and spread out, it is advisable to mount on a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas
where there is no air circulation. E.g.,Corners of rooms and keep away from items which may prevent
the free flow of air. Place the unit at least 300mm from any light fitting or decorative object which might
obstruct smoke / heat entering the alarm. Keep at least 300mm away from walls. See Figure 3i.
Wall Mounting
Do not mount tight into corners, place the top edge of your smoke alarm 500mm below the ceiling. Keep
at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 3i
On a Sloping Ceiling
In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 900mm from the highest point
measured horizontally because "dead air" at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit. See
Figure 3ii.
