4.3 Temporary muting the Alarm
In a false alarm, which was not caused by a fire, the alarm can be switch off for about 10 minutes.
However you must absolutely make sure that the alarm was not activated by a fire, but rather e.g,
by strong smoke during the cooking or by strong smoking of cigarettes or cigars in small rooms! To
temporarily turn off the alarm, press the TEST button. Then open doors and windows to clean the
air. Should the air still have a high number of combustion particles after 10 minutes, the alarm
sounds again. By pressing the test button, the mute function can be repeated as often as desired.
The mute function can be simply deactivated by pressing again the start button. At an excessively
large amounts of smoke, this function is not adjustable.
