6. Fire Safety Advice
When using household protective devices, 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.
• 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

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 exposure to high or freezing temperatures, high humidity or a high level
of nuisance alarms may reduce the life of the battery.
• 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 remove, 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/heat, do not paint or cover the Alarm in any
manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease.
