Early detection of fire goes most effective when smoke alarms are placed in all
rooms and spaces in the house
Use
There is a test button on the smoke alarm to simulate smoke detection. Press it in until the
alarm signal sounds. Test the smoke alarm once a week and always after replacing a battery, a
period of absence or having cleaned the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm must be regularly
vacuumed to remove any dust particles and to ensure optimum working condition.
Replacing the battery
The smoke alarm works with a 9V DC block battery. The battery usually works on average
for one year, under normal circumstances. If the battery is (almost) empty, the smoke
alarm alerts you to this with an audible "beep" and a flashing LED lamp. This happens at
intervals of between 30 and 40 seconds for a minimum of 7 days. Replace the battery
when this signal is given.
Discarding
Handle the battery as chemical waste. Do not throw away the smoke alarm with normal
house refuse, but hand it in to be recycled. Ask your municipal environment service for waste
recycling stations near you.
How to proceed in case of fire
- Leave the house immediate via the escape route. Every second counts, so don't
waste any time by first getting dressed and/or collecting valuables.
- Stay close to the ground in case of heavy smoke, breathe gently through a (wet) cloth.
- Once outside (or at the neighbors) telephone the fire department. Do not telephone from your
own house.
- Return to your home only when the fire department gives the all clear.
