connection; leave the connection for your replacement alarm or jumper
plug. Remove the battery.
4. Select three (3) standard size wash buckets and fill them each with one
gallon of normal tap water (
distilled or de-ionized treated water is rec-
ommended as a final rinse
if water is extremely hard in your area
).
5. Add 1/8 cup of Ivory dishwashing liquid to the first bucket of water and
allow it to mix thoroughly, then place one dirty alarm into the soap water
mixture until it becomes completely covered or submerged.

excess dirt before washing alarm so as not to dirty the wash water too quickly.

inside alarms housing.

rinse buckets containing clear water. Again, allow alarm to become com-
pletely submerged, agitate once more for 5 or 10 seconds to remove soap

period of 48 hours to allow it to thoroughly dry.
WARNING: SMOKE ALARMS ARE TO BE AIR DRIED ONLY. DO NOT
PLACE ALARM IN OVEN, MICROWAVE OR USE A HOT AIR BLOWER
TO ACCELERATE DRYING TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO YOUR SMOKE ALARM.
IMPORTANT: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE WASH AND RINSE
WATER AFTER FIVE (5) ALARMS. IF YOUR ALARMS ARE EXTREMELY
DIRTY, WATER SHOULD BE CHANGED MORE FREQUENTLY.
In the event you experience difficulty in the cleaning of your smoke alarm or if
you have any questions, please contact Edwards or your local distributor.
WARNING:
If the smoke alarm does not work properly, do not try and fix it yourself. This
will void your warranty. DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT YOURSELF.
IMPORTANT: Edwards recommends alarms be tested a minimum of once
a week.
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your alarm. You
may ignite and damage the alarm as well as your home. The test feature of
your alarm accurately simulates smoke conditions and test the alarms func-
tions as required by Underwriters Laboratories.
WARNING: Do not cover, tape, or otherwise block the openings of your
smoke alarm. These openings are designed to allow air to pass through your
smoke alarm, thus sampling the air around the alarm.
FAILURE TO REGULARLY CLEAN THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL RESULT
IN FALSE ALARMS. A BUILD UP OF DUST CREATES AN OBSCURA-
TION THAT SIMULATES SMOKE. THIS MEANS THE UNIT WILL GO INTO
ALARM WITHOUT A FIRE CONDITION.
