German term or phrase: benutzen Sie probeweise unser Treppenhaus
Aus einem Hotelprospekt:
Da Sie unseren Lift im Brandfall nicht benützen sollen, beachten Sie unsere Fluchtwegmarkierungen und benützen Sie auch probeweise unser Treppenhaus, es befindet sich am Gang Richtung nach rechts.

Wie ich den Satz auch drehe und wende, er wird im Engl. nie wirklich schön. Kann mir bitte jemand helfen? Danke

Why not try using our stairs?


Explanation:
This almost sounds like a joke to me: "Why not try using our stairs (for a change instead of the elevator you fat slob...)?"
