Preventive measures

Inform every person in your household about the dangers of gas and the triggering

of a gas alarm. Make sure that in case of alarm each person knows what to do. Crea-

teanemergencyevacuationplanfromeachroom/oortoadesignatedmeeting

point outside the house. Practice at least once a year the alarm with your family

and improve your escape routes and explanations if problems occur.

Maintenance, testing and care

The green "Power" LED must always be on. The LED shows you that the gas alarm is

turnedonandeverythingisworkingproperly.IfthegreenLEDisnoton,rstcheck

if the plug is still in or the socket is still live. If this does not seem to be the prob-

lem, the detector is likely to have an internal defect and must be exchanged.
