If in doubt, consult qualified professionals or contact our technical support for installation. This device is intended for use in normal indoor areas of residential units. The design and layout of individual rooms will vary, so consider this location as a guide only. Smoke alarms should ideally be installed in all rooms of the house except kitchens, bathrooms and garages. There should be at least one smoke alarm on each floor of the house, including stairwells. Smoke alarms should be placed in places where you can hear it even when you are asleep, such as in the hallway outside the bedroom, etc. Install smoke alarms on the ceiling of each bedroom and in the hallway outside the bedroom.

• If the hallway is longer than 9 m, install a detector at both ends.

• If you have a two-storey house, install smoke detectors in the same way on each floor, so you are also protected from smoke rising up the stairwell from the lower floor. In the basement, install a fire detector on the ceiling at the bottom of the staircase.

• Do not install smoke alarms in bathrooms or kitchens, as water and food steam can initiate a false alarm.

• In the garage, the detector could react to exhaust fumes from your car.

• Ventilation openings of the detector can not be covered or sealed.

• Avoid using aerosol products near this device.

• National regulations vary in relation to the number and location of smoke detectors.

• If in doubt, contact, for example, the fire brigade.

Testing and Maintanance

5.1 Testing

• After installation or during regular maintenance, the detector must be tested to prove its functionality. If you encounter a problem while testing the device, read the information in the „Frequently Asked Questions” and  Maintenance” sections for solutions to some situations and then retest the detector. If the testing is not completed successfully, send the device in for a claim.
  Device self-test

• Press the button briefly ,TEST/ the buzzer tone sounds and the LED indicator flashes red, followed by a pause, followed by the buzzer beeping 3 times in succession accompanied by the flashing of the red LED indicator, pause again, and  then it repeats once more.
  Temporary alarm mute

• When the smoke concentration reaches a predetermined value, the device will indicate the alarm visually by flashing the red LED indicator accompanied by a loud buzzer alarm (85 dB): 1x per second 1x flashing of the red LED indicator and simultaneously 1x beep of the buzzer.

• In the event of a false alarm, the acoustic signalling can be tem- porarily muted by pressing the button TEST/ . The temporary mute mode is signalled by the device by flashing the red LED indicator once per second. If the concentration of cortical particles subsequently falls below predetermined values, the detector automatically switches to normal operating mode.
  Malfunction
  If a malfunction is diagnosed by the device, this condition will be indicated by the detector as follows:

• The red LED indicator flashes twice every 60 seconds. In this state the device is not functional. Check the detector for damage, clean the ventilation holes of the detector e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.

Safety habits

7.1 Planning and practicing evacuation

• Place fire extinguishers on every floor of the house, in the kitchen, basement and garage and keep them in working, serviceable condition. Learn to operate fire extinguishers before an emergency occurs.
• Make an evacuation diagram of the building including each floor with all doors and windows and mark at least two main escape routes. When planning the use of windows on the second floor, you may need to consider the use of a rope or evacuation ladder.
• Familiarise everyone with the fire evacuation plan (everyone should know what to do in the event of a fire).
• Outside the building, designate an evacuation point where you will all meet in the event of a fire.
• Familiarize everyone with the fire alarm signal and instruct them to evacuate the building immediately upon discovering the alarm.
• Conduct fire drills with evacuation training at least once every six months, including during night hours. Ensure that even young children can hear the fire alarm signal and can be woken up when it sounds. Waking up all individuals early presents an opportunity for early evacuation along the escape route. These drills will allow everyone to test the evacuation plan before an actual emergency. It is possible that you may not be able to reach your children in the event of a fire, so it is important that they too know what to do in such a situation.

7.2 What to do in case of an alarm

• Wake up the small children.
• Immediately leave the threatened area along your proposed escape route. Time is precious, so don‘t waste it dressing or collecting valuables. During an evacuation, never open an interior door without first touching it. If the door is hot or smoke is coming in through the joints, do not open it under any circumstances! Instead, use an alternative escape route. If the door is not hot, brace yourself against it with your shoulder and open it carefully, but still be prepared to close the door immediately if heat or heavy smoke should penetrate to you.
• If you are in an area with a concentration of smoke, move close to the ground. Breathe slowly and ideally through wetted textiles.
• Once you get out of the building, go to your designated evacuation point and make sure everyone is present.
• Always contact the relevant units of the integrated rescue system when you are safe!
• Do not return to the building until the danger has passed.

Disposal

Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use sorted waste collection points.
Contact your local authority for up-to-date information on collection points. If electrical appliances are dumped in landfill sites, hazardous substances can seep into groundwater and enter the food chain, harming your health.
Warning
Do not burn or throw into fire.
