9. Behaviour in case of fire
9.1 What should you do if you hear the fire alarm sound from the detector
or from the alarm control panel?
Warning

Leave the premises immediately. Every second counts - there is no time to get dressed or gather
valuable belongings. Use the emergency escape routes.

Warn your fellow residents and make sure they also leave, especially children and people with
impaired hearing.

Do not open doors without first checking the surface. Do not open a door if it is hot or you see
smoke under it. Use an alternative escape route. If the surface is cool, push against it with your
shoulder, open it slightly and be prepared to close it again if there is heat, smoke or fire behind it.

If there is smoke in the air, keep close to the floor and breathe through a damp cloth if possible.

Close the doors after leaving the room.

Once you have left the building, go to the agreed assembly point and do not go back inside.

Call the fire brigade from outside the burning building.

Notify the fire brigade of the situation inside the building.
9.2 What should you do in the event of a false alarm?

False alarms can be triggered by a range of factors, e.g. very high humidity levels, smoke from
cooking or where a lot of dust is created.

If an alarm is triggered, get yourself to safety first of all. Only once you are sure that it is a false
alarm, can you then silence the alarm using the test button. The alarm is also displayed optically
via the LED.

The smoke alarm device resets itself as soon as the smoke particles have moved away from the
smoke chamber inside the detector.
