for example through a window. If the smoke alarm device is not
working properly, consult the instructions of the supplier. Keep the
manual within reach. The local fire department can provide more
information about fire prevention. Keep the smoke detector away
from children.
Warning
If there is any doubt about the cause of the alarm, assume that there
really is a fire and carry out your emergency plan. Please do not
assume that it is a false alarm. Dust can cause excessive sensitivity.
Vacuum as indicated above. Do not paint the smoke alarm device.
False alarm
Unusual atmospheric conditions may be the cause that the very
sensitive smoke detector gives a false alarm. If there is no fire,
ventilate the room and / or blow clean air in the smoke alarm device,
for example, by waving a newspaper under the smoke alarm device
until the alarm stops. Once it is clean, there is an automatic reset.
Recommendation
We recommend that you do not use smoke alarm devices that are
older than 10 years in order to limit the risk of defects. The smoke
alarm device is not a substitute for insurance for furniture, home,
life, or other form of insurance.
