Once the alarm has been identified, appropriate action can be taken e.g. ensure kitchen or
bathroom doors are kept closed to prevent cooking fumes or steam reaching the alarm,
locate the alarm further away from the source of fumes, replace the unit if its thought to be
defective or remove the unit in the short term.
9. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When a fire alarm system is installed, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including those listed below:
• Please read all instructions.
• Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows what to do in case the alarm
sounds. Further information can be obtained from your local fire prevention officer.
• To maintain sensitivity to smoke/heat, do not paint or cover the alarm in any manner and;
do not allow cobwebs, dust or grease to accumulate.
• If the alarm has been damaged in any way or does not function properly, do not attempt a
repair. Return the alarm - see “GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED” section on page 18.
• This appliance is only intended for premises having a residential type environment.
• Fire/Smoke/Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The supplier or manufacturer is
not your insurer.
• Do not dispose of your alarm in a fire.
