Other than the cleaning described above, no other 

customer servicing of this product is required.  Repairs, 

when needed, must be performed by the manufacturer.

All Alarms are prone to dust and insect ingress which 

can cause nuisance/false alarms or failure to alarm.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, 

contamination can build up in the smoke sensing 

chamber causing the Alarm to sound or fail. If this 

happens the Alarm can be returned to us for servicing 

or replacement. 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 

guarantee and a charge is made for servicing such units.
If you experience persistent nuisance/false alarms it may 

mean that the environment may not be suitable for your 

particular Alarm type.

When sure that it is just a nuisance/false alarm, simply 

press the test/silence button briefly on the Alarm to 

silence the unit for 10 minutes.
If, when the alarm goes off, there is no sign of smoke, 

heat or noise to indicate that there is a fire, you should 

get your family into a safe place, before you start 

investigating.
Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire 

smouldering somewhere.
Check whether there is some source of smoke or fumes, 

for example cooking fumes being drawn past the Smoke 

Alarm by an extractor.
If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be 

necessary to re-locate the device away from the source 

of the fumes. If for some reason the Alarm continues 

to sound without smoke or heat being present (due to 

insect infestation or contamination build-up for example) 

the units can be silenced by disconnecting the mains 

power and removing the unit - see “

ALARM REMOVAL

” 

section - page 11 (Installer section).
If cleaning the Alarm does not correct the problem 

it can be returned to the manufacturer for repair or 

replacement - see “Service and Guarantee” section.

Silence Feature

All the Smoke Alarms have a combined Test/Silence 

Button to help you control nuisance/false alarms.
1. To silence a nuisance/false alarm, press the Test/

Silence Button located on the cover. The Alarm will 

automatically switch to a reduced sensitivity condition 

for a 10 minute period (very large levels of smoke 

from a nearby fire will override the silence period).

The unit will flash the red light every 10 seconds (instead 

of the normal 40 seconds) to indicate the sensitivity is 

reduced.
On interconnected Alarms, pressing the Test/Silence 

Button on the one sensing smoke (i.e. the one with the 

red light flashing every second) will silence all alarms. 
Pressing the Silence Button on any other Alarm will not 

silence the alarm.
2. The unit will reset to normal sensitivity at the end of 

the silenced period.
