General Maintenance
To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working order, please follow these simple steps:
•Verify unit alarm, lights and battery operation by pushing the test/reset button once a week.
•Remove the unit from mounting bracket and vacuum the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt.
REINSTALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER CLEANING AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET BUTTON! IF TAMPER RESIST FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, REFER TO TAMPER RESIST FEATURE DESCRIPTION ON PAGE 13 FOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.
•Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
•Avoid spraying air fresheners, hairspray, or other aerosols near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke and CO. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
Move the Smoke/CO Alarm and place in another location prior to performing any of the following:
•Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
•Painting
•Wallpapering
•Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the above projects will protect the sensors from damage. Do not place near a nappy bucket.
