• Do not paint over the smoke detector.
• Smoke detectors only recognise the smoke of a fire, not the flame • Smoke detectors do not extinguish a fire. In case of an alarm search for the source of the fire and, if necessary call the fire brigade (also In order to ensure the functional reliability of the smoke detector for a refer to "Correct behaviour in case of fire").
