13. Cleaning Your Alarm
your alarm Should be Cleaned at least Once a year
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vac-
uum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter
of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to
dampen the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the alarm.
If the alarm is in Fault mode , the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning, press the
button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs to be replaced.
•
Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the unit.
•
Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.
•
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to
detect smoke.
•
Never attempt to disassemble the unit to clean inside. This action will void your
warranty.
