Fire safety

Preventative measures:

• Store any matches and lighters in alocked room out of children’sreach.

• Never empty theashes from ash trays, stoves and grills into waste bins until

theashes have completely cooled. Itis advisable to let them cool overnight

before disposing ofthem. Sootand ashes from stoves and fireplaces should

be collected in metal buckets fitted withlids. Always place receptacles hol-

ding hot ashes on afireproof surface.

• Never leave naked flames such as candles unattended. Onlyuse non-flam-

mable candle holders and candlesticks.

• Make sure that no sparks can escape from your wood-burning stove or

fireplace and ensure that thefire has died before going tobed.

• Do not store or handle combustible liquids/substances close to sources

ofheat.

• Replace any faulty electrical plug or wiring. Makesure that thecorrect type

of fuses and circuit breakers are used in your consumerunit.

• Remember to switch off your TV, computer and other appliances using

thepower switch. Remote controls don’t switch appliances off completely.

• Do not place combustible materials and objects next to electrical heating

appliances. Avoidcontrolling electrical heaters with timers or any kind of

remote control device. Bearin mind that acombustible material might have

been placed on or next to anelectrical heating appliance while it was swit-

ched off without your knowledge.

• It is important that chimneys and flues are cleaned regularly to prevent

chimneyfires.

• Further information about fire safety in thehome can be obtained from

theDepartment for Communities and Local Governmenthps://www.

gov.uk/government/organisaons/department-for-communies-and-

local-government if you should need tips and advice about how to protect

your home and family fromfire.

Fire safety checks:

• Check thecondition of your fire extinguishers and make sure that everyone

in your household knows how to usethem.

• Draw up asafe plan of escape from your premises in case of emergency.

Makesure that there are alternative escape routes, such as windows. Make

sure that there is aladder or rope as analternative in case stairs are blocked.

• Practise your escape plan to make sure that itworks. Decide upon anas-

sembly point to gather in anemergency.

• Keep bedroom doors closed during thenight. Aclosed door can keep

thefire at bay long enough for you to make your escape through awindow.

If afire breaksout:

• If afire alarm goes off, keep calm but act quickly.

• Wake everyone up and make sure that they leave thebuilding according to

your escapeplan. Follow your escapeplan.

• Carefully feel doors with theback of your hand before opening them – if they

are hot, don’t openthem. Tryto find analternative escaperoute. Ifyou have

to escape through smoke, crawl on your hands and knees under thesmoke.

Don’t waste time rescuing valuables.

• If possible, close doors and windows to contain theblaze.

• If thefire is small try to extinguish/contain it with awater hose, fire extinguis-

her or fire blanket. Firstmake sure that you have ameans of escape before

tackling thefire. Getout as quickly as possible if you realise that you can’t

extinguish thefire.

• Call 999 as soon as you are free of thebuilding, call from aneighbour’s

house if you don’t have aphone.

• Make sure that no-one re-enters thebuilding, wait for thefire brigade.

Positioning thesmokealarm

• Smoke alarms should be positioned in themiddle of theceiling of aroom at

thehighest point, or at thehighest point of thehallway, staircase or landing.

Smokeand fumes will rise, accumulate on theceiling and enter thesmoke

alarm from thetop.

• All bedrooms, corridors/escape routes should be equipped with smoke

alarms. Other rooms should also be equipped for comprehensive protection.

• Corridors up to 3 m wide: The first smoke alarm should be place at a max

distance of 7.5 m from the end of the corridor. The max distance between

two smoke alarms should be 15 m.

• Corridors less than 1 m wide: The first smoke alarm should be placed at a

max distance of 7.5 m from the end of the corridor. The smoke alarm should

be mounted in the middle of the ceiling. In these cases, the rule of keeping a

0.5 m distance to a wall cannot be met.

• Exterior corridors and similar: If the total length and width exceed 16 m², an

extra smoke alarm should be mounted in the highest-lying area.

• Horizontal/slanted ceilings: Smoke alarms should be placed at least 0.5 and

a maximum of 1 m away from the ceiling’s highest point on ceilings which

have a horizontal portion and a slanted portion with a slant of over 20º.

The smoke alarm should be mounted on the slanted portion of the ceiling

if the horizontal portion is less than 1 m wide. The smoke alarm should be

mounted in the middle of the horizontal portion if this portion is more than 1

m wide.

• Place at least 0.5 m from a wall or other obstacle. If partition walls, furniture

or similar objects reach up

to ceiling level, then each of

these divided areas must have

their own separate smoke

alarm.

• Sloped ceiling placement,

50–100cm from thepeak.

• Several smoke alarms must be

mounted at various heights for

ceilings exceeding 6 m in height.

• If ceiling beams or similar protrude

more than 0.2 m from the ceiling

and the area between the beams

is greater than 36 m², then the

smoke alarm should be mounted

in this area between the beams.

If beams protrude less than 0.2

m, then the smoke alarm can

either be mounted on the ceiling

or the beam itself.

Thegrey zone is deadair. Donot

install thesmoke alarm in thisarea.

Do NOT place thesmoke alarm in thefollowing places:

• Do not place thesmoke alarm in thekitchen, where theventilation ispoor.

Smokeand vapours from cooking and baking could set thealarmoff.

• Do not place thesmoke alarm close to extractor fans or airvents. Smo-

kecan be drawn to these places instead of to thesmokealarm.

• Do not place asmoke alarm in agarage. Fumesfrom thecar exhaust could

set thealarmoff.

• Do not place thesmoke alarm in areas with high humidity or areas that expe-

rience large changes in temperature. Thesmoke alarm should not be placed

in areas with temperatures below +0 °C or above +40 °C.

• Note: Thesmoke alarm must not be paintedover.

Safety information

• If thebedrooms are located in different parts of thehouse, asmoke alarm

should be placed in each bedroom.

• If thehouse has several floors, asmoke alarm should be placed on

everyfloor.

• Thesooner your family is warned of afire, themore chance you have of

saving yourselves and your property.

• Smoke alarms should be positioned in themiddle of theceiling of aroom at

thehighest point, or at thehighest point of thehallway, staircase or landing.

• Themore smoke alarms you have – thesafer you’llbe. Makesure that you

can hear thesmoke alarms from your bedroom.

• Smoke alarms should normally not be more than 10–12 mapart. Themaxi-

mum floor space area that one smoke alarm can protect is 60 m².

• Don’t put alarms in or near kitchens or garages where smoke or exhaust fu-

mes can set them off by accident. Neither is it advisable to fit smoke alarms

in humid rooms or close tofans. Notin agricultural buildings either.

• Themajority of household fires start in thekitchen. Asmoke alarm should

therefore be placed in theroom next to thekitchen to provide as early as

warning as possible.

• Factors which can increase theneed for having asmoke alarmare: Closed

doors, different ceiling heights, long distances or other obstacles that might

prevent or delay smoke from reaching thesmokealarm.

• The smoke alarm must be mounted in a safe manner to ensure that it does

not fall and cause injury to someone. It may be difficult to mount

the smoke alarm to plasterboard ceilings or similar types of ceilings.

• The battery must not be subjected to fire, direct sunlight or high temperatures.

Testing thesmokealarm

Test thesmoke alarm as follows: Pressand hold in thetest button for at least

5 seconds. Thealarm will emit 3 short beeps followed by apause of 1.5seconds

in acontinuous cycle for as long as thebutton is heldin. Thered LED will flash

acouple of times aminute.

• Pushing in thetest button will test all theessential functions of thesmoke

alarm and check that thebatteryworks.

• Thetest button simulates smoke entering thesmoke alarm,

i.e. thetest button has thesame effect as realsmoke.

• It is crucial that thesmoke be tested regularly and often, at least once

amonth. Forexample in conjunction with house cleaning, or after along

holiday away fromhome.

• Thesmoke alarm will only alert you when thebattery islow. Ifthere is any

other technical fault with thesmoke alarm it will not alert you to thisfact.

Thetest button on theother hand tests thebattery and all theessential

functions.

• The smoke alarm must be replaced if it does not emit 3 short audible signals

when the test button is pressed in for 5 sec.

Warning: Donot test thealarm close to naked flames, these can damaged

thealarm and are dangerous. Wedo not recommend that you test thealarm

using smoke as results can be misleading if thecorrect test equipment is

notused.

Installation

1. Test that the smoke alarm works properly

by attaching the base plate to it. A short

audible signal will be emitted.

2. Press and hold the test button. A loud

audible signal will be emitted.

If no audible signal is emitted, the alarm

is faulty and should be replaced.

3. Remove the base plate from the smoke alarm. Use it as a template and

mark out the position of the mounting holes on the ceiling. Screw the base

plate onto the ceiling using the included screws. For concrete ceilings it

might be necessary to drill Ø 5 mm holes and insert the included wall plugs

before screwing on the base plate.

4. Twist the smoke alarm onto the base plate.

Battery

The battery in the smoke alarm will last for about 10 years.

Roughly a month before the battery dies, the alarm will emit short audible

signals at the same time as the red LED flashes. The smoke alarm should then

be replaced as soon as possible.

The alarm signal can be silenced for 10 hours by pressing the test button.

The smoke alarm will function as normal during this time, until the battery is fully

discharged.

Thesmoke alarm shall be replaced after

10years

Smoke alarms shall be replaced after 10 years of service. Theexpiry date

should be printed on theratinglabel.

Care and maintenance

• Asmoke alarm which is dirty on theinside is more sensitive and often goes

off without reason.

• Clean the inside of the smoke alarm carefully using a vacuum cleaner with a

dusting brush nozzle.

• Clean the smoke alarm by vacuuming it at least once a year. Test the smoke

alarm according to the instructions in the owner’s manual. Check that all the

inlets are unblocked and that the smoke alarm is not damaged in any way. A

damaged smoke alarm must be replaced.
