General maintenance
Cleaning your Sense
Your sfty Sense doesn’t need much maintenance, but avoid getting a buildup
of dust or other particles into the smoke chamber of the device.
●
Pull it down from the magnetic bracket
●
Blow hard into the slits to clear the chamber. You can also gently
vacuum it
Note: Never use detergents or solvents (like glass cleaner) on your sfty
Sense. Do not spray air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near it. Do
not get water inside the alarm or paint over it.
Testing your device
Test your sfty Sense once a month by pressing and holding in the Test
button. You should hear a very loud beep and then a test alarm for as long
as you hold it in. When you release it, any other device in your home should
end their test alarm within a few seconds.
It is also recommended that you test the device at least once per year by
lighting a smoke pen under it, allowing smoke to seep in through the slits in
the device. Please allow at least 30 seconds of smoke seeping in, as the
device has several mechanisms in place to avoid false alarms. When the
smoke alarm is triggered, you can use the test / mute button to mute it while
you clear the smoke. See page 14 for more information on this.
