This smoke detector is designed to warn against fire hazards by detecting
the smoke given off by burning flammable materials (wood, paper, plastic) etc.
It is essential to respect the installation, set-up and maintenance instructions
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
1. In houses with several floors: it is recommended that you install a minimum of one
detector on each floor. (See diagram A)
2. Place a detector in proximity to the bedrooms so that the occupants will hear the alarm
should it go off during the night.
For optimum protection, place a smoke detector in every room.
3. Install a detector near the stairs, as a stairwell can act as a chimney.
4. Due to heat, smoke and other products of combustion rise toward the ceiling and
disperse horizontally.
Therefore install the detector in the middle of the room for most efficient detection.
5. When you attach the detector to a ceiling, make sure it is at least 1m away from any wall.
