•Smoke / Heat Alarms may not detect every type of fire to give sufficient early warning.
•Fire Authorities recommend that both Optical and Ionisation Smoke Alarms should be fitted for the fastest response to all types of fires.
•Smoke / Heat Alarms don’t last indefinitely. For example if there is a build up of contamination, performance will be impaired.
It is recommended that the Smoke / Heat Alarms are replaced after 10 years as a precaution.

11. GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED
If your Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all the instructions, checked the unit has been installed correctly, and is receiving AC power (green light on) contact Customer Assistance at the address given at the end of this leaflet. If it needs to be returned for repair or replacement put it in a padded box and send it to “Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest address given on the Alarm or in this leaflet. Do not snap on to the mounting plate as this connects the battery and the unit may beep or alarm in the post. State the nature of the fault, where the Alarm was purchased and the date of purchase.
