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 vacuum 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 and the Red LED is blinking a fault code of 10 or 14 flashes (after a Test/Hush button push), the
alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning, press the Test/Hush 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 or clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
WArnIng: reInstAll the AlArm As soon As PossIble to ensUre contInUoUs ProtectIon.
