Opening the filter (Figure B):
Hold smoke hood with one hand. Grip the two red pull cords with the other hand and
pull the sealing plugs completely out of their holes.
Before using the smoke hood, ensure that the filter opening is free, since breathing will
otherwise be impaired!
Put aside the packaging, pull cords and seal plugs.
Using both thumbs, push the filter out of the hood from inside (Figure C).
Grip the collar with both hands and open it wide.
Put the chin into the smoke hood first (Figure D1).
Pull the hood over the head (Figure D2).
Ensure that nose and chin are positioned inside the nose cup. If required, take hold
of the filter and move the nose cup so that it is positioned snugly around the mouth
and nose.
Ensure that the hair is covered completely by the smoke hood.
There is no need to remove spectacles.
Tighten the adjustable strap until the nose cup is positioned snugly around the mouth
and nose, holding the filter with the other hand (Figure E).
If it is not possible to tighten the adjustable strap, hold mask firmly in position using
the hand.
Full beards can cause leaks and put the wearer of the hood at risk!
If the smoke hood is used by children, an adult should make sure that the nose cup is
positioned correctly around the chin and nose.
Breathe calmly!
Breathing is slightly more difficult. The breathing air becomes noticeably warmer: this
is an indication of correct operation of the filter.
Find an escape route to an emergency exit. If this is not possible, wait for the arrival
of the fire brigade! Knock on walls or stand at a window so that the rescuers can find
you.
