How often and how do I test my SEBSON GS506G smoke alarm?

[OJulian]

To ensure your SEBSON GS506G smoke alarm is functioning correctly, the manufacturer recommends testing it weekly. Here's how to perform the test: First, ensure the battery is correctly installed. Then, locate the TEST button on the smoke alarm and press and hold it for about 5 seconds. You should hear a loud alarm tone, and the LED light will illuminate red. This confirms that the electronics, alarm unit, and battery are all working as they should. Release the TEST button, and the alarm tone should stop immediately. If the alarm doesn't sound or the LED doesn't flash during the test, it may indicate a dead battery or a faulty device. In this situation, replace the battery or consider replacing the smoke alarm. When testing, avoid holding the device directly next to your ear to prevent discomfort from the loud sound. Also, never test the smoke detector with an open flame, as this can damage the sensor.
