• Use the Alarm Test Button to

familiarise your family with the Alarm

sound and to practice fire drills

regularly with all family members.

Draw up a floor plan that will show

each member at least 2 escape routes

from each room in the house.

• Children tend to hide when they don't

know what to do. Teach children how

to escape, open windows, and use

roll up fire ladders and stools without

adult help. Make sure they know what

to do if the alarm goes off.

• Constant exposures to high or low

temperatures or high humidity may

reduce battery life.

• Nuisance alarms can be quickly

silenced by fanning vigorously with a

newspaper or similar to remove the

smoke or press the test / hush button.

• Do not attempt to recharge or burn

the battery, as it may explode.

• If it is necessary to remove the battery

for separate disposal, handle carefully

to avoid possible eye damage or

skin irritation if battery has leaked or

corroded.

• To maintain sensitivity to smoke,

do not paint or cover the Alarm

in any manner; do not permit any

accumulation of cobwebs, dust or

grease.

• If Alarm has been damaged in any

way or does not function properly, do

not attempt a repair - see section 5

'Getting Your Alarm Serviced'.

• This appliance is intended ONLY for

premises having a residential type

manufacturer is not your insurer.

Fire Safety Hints

• Store petrol and other flammable

materials in proper containers.

• Discard oily or flammable rags.

• Always use a metal fireplace screen

and have chimneys cleaned regularly.

• Replace worn or damaged sockets,

switches, home wiring and cracked or

frayed electrical cords and plugs.

• Do not overload electrical circuits.

• Keep matches away from children.

• Never smoke in bed. In rooms where

you do smoke, always check under

cushions for smouldering cigarettes

and ashes.

• Be sure all electrical appliances and

tools have a recognized approval

label.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used

with detector guards unless the

combination has been evaluated and

found suitable for that purpose.

This device cannot protect all persons at

all times. It may not protect against the

three most common causes of fatal fires:

1. Smoking in bed.

2. Leaving children at home alone.

3. Cleaning with flammable liquids, such

as petrol.

Further information can be obtained from

the Fire Department.

Planning Your Escape Route For When

The Alarms Sound

1. Check room doors for heat or smoke.

Do not open a hot door. Use an alternate

escape route. Close doors behind you as

you leave.

2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out, staying

close to floor. Take short breaths, if

possible, through a wet cloth or hold

your breath. More people die from

smoke inhalation than from flames.

3. Get out as fast as you can. Do not

stop for packing. Have a prearranged

meeting place outside for all family

members. Check everybody is there.

4. Call the Fire Brigade from a neighbor's

house or mobile phone. Remember to

give your name and address.
