Maintenance
Testing

Test your alarms to ensure proper operation once per week by pressing 
the test button. If there is no sound output it means that the alarm is 

faulty, the batteries are flat, or that the installation procedure may not 

have been followed correctly. Please try replacing the batteries and 
reinstalling the alarm head. If the alarm still fails to react to the test 
button, please read the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

WARNING:

 The test button accurately tests the alarm’s components 

and functions. Do not expose the alarm to an open flame. You may 

contaminate and damage the sensor, preventing the alarm from 

providing adequate protection from real fires, and invalidate the warranty. 

Repairing

Do not attempt to repair the alarm yourself; dismantling the alarm will 

affect your warranty. If the alarm is not operating properly, and it is still 

under warranty, contact the retailer who sold you the product or the 
manufacturer.

Cleaning

Do not paint smoke or heat alarms. Your alarms should be cleaned every 

month, using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment.

WARNING: 

Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean inside. This will 

affect the warranty.
