GUIDE TO

Maintenance & 

Troubleshooting

END USER MAINTENANCE

REMEMBER - The overriding instruction is to ALWAYS  follow the manufacturers guidance.

Test the alarm once a week to ensure it is still operating. 

ONLY use the test button.  

Do NOT use smoke or flame. It is dangerous, will contaminate the alarm and give misleading results 

If you must use canned smoke on smoke alarms follow the manufacturers instructions.

Vacuum the alarm to keep the vents clear of dust and insects

Every six months clean the alarm with a damp cloth  

(do not use spray or chemical cleaners and polishes)

In the event of a problem,  contact  our helpline: 0800 008 6568

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Be sure which alarm has been the problem, upstairs, downstairs, heat or smoke.

Are the alarms interlinked? 

If so check which one has a fast flashing red light during an alarm – 

that’s the one that has set the system off.

Where is it installed? (refer to “Do nots..” list in manual and earlier) 

If it is in a poor location this might be causing nuisance alarms.

What is the alarm doing?  i.e. single or double beeps, nuisance alarms etc.

Was the occupier cooking, cleaning, dusting, using aerosol spays etc.? 

if so these may have caused the alarm to sound due to contamination.

Has there been any decorating or building work recently? 

if so this may have contaminated the alarm and caused nuisance alarms

Has there been outside fires, bonfires, chimneas, fire pits etc.? 

if so, the smoke may have got into the property via doors, windows and vents.
