1. SMOKE ALARM BEST PRACTISE

At all mes and before installing your smoke alarm you must;

• Have an escape plan with alternate exits

• Train your family in this escape plan and pracse it regularly

• Ensure your family know what the alarm sounds like

If the alarm sounds check for ﬁres ﬁrst of all, and if one is discovered then;

• DO Alert small children

• DO Exit the home according to your escape plan

• DO Crawl if the smoke is dense, using a damp cloth to breathe through

• DO Call the ﬁre brigade from a neighbour’s home

• DO Ensure that everyone is awake, and assistance is given to those who require it

• DON’T stop to dress or retrieve valuables

• DON’T open doors that are warm, or through which smoke is seeping

NOTE – Situaons where a smoke alarm might not be eﬀecve;

• Smoking in bed

• Leaving children unaended

• Cleaning with ﬂammable liquids resulng in explosive vapour

2. IMPORTANT SMOKE ALARM INFORMATION

• Before temporarily silencing the alarm with the Hush buon, idenfy the source of the smoke.

• Smoke alarms need to be tested regularly

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke cannot reach them

• Fires in chimneys, walls, roofs, diﬀerent levels or behind closed doors might not be detected

• For the physically or mentally impaired, or very young, escape may be di cult and so alternave

escape strategies should be adopted

• The smoke alarm may not wake heavy sleepers or those impaired by the use of drugs or alcohol. In

this case an alarm should be ﬁed in each sleeping area

• Smoke alarms can save lives, but they are not an alternave for an adequate insurance policy to

protect lives and property

•IMPORTANT: Addional markings on back of unit.

Leading authories recommend that both ionisaon and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help

insure maximum detecon of the various types of ﬁres that can occur within the home. Ionisaon sensing

alarms may detect invisible ﬁre parcles (associated with fast ﬂaming ﬁres) sooner than photoelectric

alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible ﬁre parcles (associated with slow smoldering

ﬁres) sooner than ionisaon alarms.

8. MAINTENANCE

At least once a year remove the alarm and use a vacuum cleaner to suck out any dust. Wipe

the outside of the alarm with a damp cloth. When you replace the alarm remember to test it.

• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the alarm.

• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the smoke alarm

• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to

detect smoke.

•NOTE: do not use naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles, to test your apparatus.

• Storage and Transport Condions: -20° C to +60° C, 5-95%RH (non-condensing).
