DUST COVER INCLUDED
If you have built, renovated or extended a house, the fire alarm should be installed
after the final cleaning. The dust cover should be removed by the occupants after
they have moved in to avoid unnecessary dust/particles in the fire alarm.
POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM DEVICE
In order to give an early warning, the smoke alarm needs to be installed where
the fire occurs. Housegard therefore recommends that you install a smoke alarm
device in every room and on every floor.
•
Install a smoke alarm device in all separate bedrooms and in rooms
commonly occupied.
•
In homes with several storeys, a smoke alarm device should be installed at
the top of every staircase between each storey.
•
In the basement, a smoke alarm device should be installed in the ceiling at
the foot of the stairs.
•
In bedrooms where people sleep with closed doors, there should always be
a smoke alarm fitted in the bedroom.
•
Install a smoke alarm device in every room where there is a potential risk
of fire.
