WARNING: Do not paint your smoke alarm.
Other than the maintenance and cleaning described in this leaflet, no other
customer servicing of this product is required. Repairs, when needed, must
be performed by the manufacturer.
Dust and insect contamination
All smoke alarms and particularly the optical (photoelectric) type are prone
to dust and insect ingress which can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used
in the construction of this Bellman & Symfon smoke alarm to minimize the
effects of contamination. However it is impossible to completely eliminate
the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the
life of the smoke alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess
dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the smoke
alarm should be promptly removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can
build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the smoke alarm to sound.
If this happens the smoke alarm must be returned for servicing or replace-
ment. Contamination is beyond our control; it is totally unpredictable and
is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination is not
covered by the warranty and a charge is made for all such servicing work.
End of life
The entire smoke alarm must be replaced if:
The unit is installed for over 10 years
Before the smoke alarm is safely discarded, remove it from the mounting
plate, and disconnect the battery. To protect our environment, batteries
shall be disposed in a safe and environmentally sound manner at your
local recycle centre.
Do not put the smoke alarm into a fire
The smoke alarm should be disposed in a safe and environmentally sound
manner at your local recycle centre. Contact your local authority for further
advice.
