Maintenance
To keep your smoke/CO alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:
1. Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicators are working properly by testing the unit once a week.
2. Remove the unit from the ceiling/wall and clean the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush
attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt.
3. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke
or CO. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
6. When removed, place the smoke/CO alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure
continuous protection from fi re or carbon monoxide poisoning.
7. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
Locations to Avoid
WARNING -
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is
not designed to measure compliance with the occupational safety and health administration (OSHA)
commercial or industrial standards.
1. Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms or bathrooms! Do not install within 5 ft or 1.5 m of
cooking appliances.
2. Do not install within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the following: The door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a
tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating
fans, or other high air flow areas. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or
household chemicals can contaminate the alarm’s sensors, causing the alarm to not operate properly.
3. Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block the sensors. Smoke and CO must be
able to reach the sensors to accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of vaulted
ceilings, “A” frame ceilings or gabled roofs. Keep out of damp and humid areas.
4. Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights, as electronic noise may cause nuisance
alarms. Do not place in direct sunlight and keep out of insect-infested areas. Extreme temperatures
will aff ect the sensitivity of the smoke/CO alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is
colder than 40 °F (4.4 °C) or hotter than 100 °F (37.8 °C), such as garages and unfi nished attics. Do not
install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away from doors and windows
that open to the outside.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination
(alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Mounting Steps
1. Drill three Ø 6.0 mm holes in the wall or ceiling, then insert three plastic
anchor plugs into the holes with a hammer.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface of the wall or ceiling with
three screws and mount the alarm into the bracket by pushing them
together and twisting the unit clockwise.
