Where the "heat only" mode can be used

To prevent false alarms, you can use your detector in the "heat only" mode. Use the detector in this mode
only in or near areas where typically only harmless combustion particles exist which do not present a fire
hazard. If the distance of the detector to places at which combustion particles normally exist - for example
in kitchens - is less than 6 meters, install the detector as a heat detector only and as far away from the
combustion particles as possible. To prevent false alarms, make sure the ventilation in such places is
good. Never try to prevent false alarms by switching off the detector.
Other locations:
•
In damp or humid areas or near bathrooms with showers. The humidity in the air can get into the
measuring chamber and form droplets as it cools, which can then trigger false alarms.
•
In very dirty or dusty areas. Dirt and dust can collect in the measuring chamber of the detector and
cause it to become over-sensitive.
In addition, dirt or dust can block the openings to the measuring chamber and prevent the detector
from detecting smoke.

The smoke alarm / heat detector must be assembled on the ceiling or, if necessary, on the wall. The
smoke alarm / heat detector cannot be networked with other detectors.
Before installation, read the sections titled "Where to install your smoke alarm / heat detector" and "Where
