Read the operating manual thoroughly and follow all fitting instructions carefully.
This detector is designed to give early warning of dangerous and lethal accumulations of smoke.
A piercing alarm sounds whenever the device detects the presence of smoke.
Note that the device detects the smoke, and not the flames, produced by a fire.
• DO NOT paint over or apply any other type of coating to the smoke detector.
• Use a small, soft paint brush or slightly-damp cloth, about twice a year, to remove any build-ups
of dirt and dust. Smoke detectors used in dusty conditions should be cleaned monthly. DO NOT
use compressed air for this purpose.
• If the smoke detector is to work reliably, it MUST be fitted with the correct type of battery,
which must be replaced as required (see also point 7).
• Do not attempt to repair a defective smoke detector. Replace it with a new one.
1. Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
2. Do not mix batteries of different types or new and used batteries.
3. Batteries must be installed with the correct polarity.
4. Empty batteries must be removed from the device.
5. Do not short-circuit the connection clamps.
6. Do not throw batteries into fire.
7. Swallowing batteries can be life threatening.
8. In case of leakage of battery acid, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
9. Used batteries must be recycled.
• Bedrooms. Install a smoke detector in each individual bedroom (not just in the hall leading to
the rooms).
• Hallways and staircases. A stairway can act as a chimney if fire breaks out, causing flames and
smoke to spread to other floors. Ensure that there is at least one smoke detector on each floor
of the building.
• Living and working areas.
• Basements and attics. When fitting in an attic, install the device at least 19 inches (50 cm) from
the point of the roof .
• Storage areas.
• In rooms containing electrical equipment.
• Fit the smoke detector to the ceiling, in the centre of the room. Smoke rises to the room ceiling
and spreads out horizontally. Install the smoke detector at least 19 inches (50 cm) from the
nearest wall and 2 feet (61 cm) from the corner of the room (see ).
• Do not fit smoke detectors to ceiling beams if they are more than 8 inches (20 cm) thick.
Maintain a minimum clearance 19 inches (50 cm).
• Keep a minimum clearance of 19 inches (50 cm) with respect to lamps and fluorescent tubes.
