Wichtige Sicherheitsinformationen

This smoke alarm detects products of combustion using ionization technology. Ionization smoke alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible particles (associated with smoldering fires) sooner than ionization alarms. For maximum protection, it is recommended to install both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms.
