  > "85% of nuisance alarms come from cooking steam or dust" - NFPA report  

 4. Troubleshooting False Alarms

1. Ventilate the area: Open windows  
2. Fan smoke/steam away from detector  
3. Clean the alarm: Vacuum dust from sensors

Post-Event Actions

After Confirmed False Alarm:

   - Others: May need battery removal/reinsertion  

2. Identify & fix cause:  

   - Relocate alarm if near kitchen/bathroom  
   - Install photoelectric smoke alarm(less steam-sensitive)  

After Real Fire:

2. Contact insurance immediately  
3. Replace alarms exposed to smoke  

> Life-Saving Tip: Deheng's  Smart Silence Technology allows safe alarm silencing without disabling protection - crucial for preventing dangerous habit of battery removal.

Why This Matters: 60% of fire deaths occur in homes with disabled alarms (NFPA). Knowing proper response keeps safety systems active while reducing panic. Always choose alarms with **instant silence features** like Deheng DH-series Photoelectric Smoke Alarms for balanced protection.
