Installation Positioning

1. Prioritize the installation of a smoke alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In a home with several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm in your home, install the alarm near to all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
2.  Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor of the house.
3. Smoke, heat, and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure that the alarm is installed at the minimum distance away from corner.
4.  If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away from the corners of the room.
5. If an alarm is installed onto a wall, a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) should be kept below the ceiling.
6.  If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), several alarms should be installed in the same space.
7. When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.

WARNING!

•  THIS ALARM SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON.

Installation Method

•  Use the mounting bracket to mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.
• Drill holes at the 2 marks using an appropriately-sized drill bit. Insert the anchor plugs and screw the mounting bracket using the screws provided.
•  Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the alarm.
•  Test the smoke alarm according to the steps in the section below.

Maintenance

To keep your smoke alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps

•  Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing the unit once a week.
• As a minimum your smoke alarm should be cleaned once every 3 months: Remove the unit from the ceiling and clean the alarm cover and vents with your vacuum cleaner fi tted with the soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt.
•  Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the alarm.
•  Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect fi re.
•  Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
• When removed, place the smoke alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fi re.
•  When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
