6.5 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch
assemblies with a light oil. Clean and
coat gasket materials with silicone to
help keep them pliable.
• The opening portlights are made of
acrylic plastic. Acrylic can scratch easily.
DO NOT use a dry cloth or glass clean
-
ing solutions; use a soft cloth, mild soap,
and water for routine cleaning. Solvents
and products containing ammonia can
permanently damage acrylic. Refer to
the acrylic plastic information in section
11, Routine Maintenance, for directions
for properly maintaining acrylic.
• Carbon monoxide detectors have a limit-
ed life span. The End of Life (EOL) date,
five (5) years after the manufactured
date, can be found on a sticker adhered
to the body of the unit. Plan on replacing
this unit prior to the EOL date. See the
carbon monoxide detector owner’s man-
ual for more information.
