Maintaining/Testing your Detector
Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potentially hazardous CO concentrations in your home when maintained
properly.To maintain your FireAngel detector in proper working order, and to ensure that your sensor will
maintain its 6 year life, it is recommended that you:
• Test the horn, battery and circuitry of your detector at least once per week by pressing the
Test/Reset button briefly (see page 14).
• Perform the Sensor Test once every month (see page 15).
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently vacuuming the case with a soft brush attachment
once per month.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating the sensor in your alarm and thus affecting its
reliability:-
• Never use cleaning solutions on your detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products near the detector.
• Move the detector to a safe location and store in a plastic bag before painting, wall papering,
using or performing any other activities that use materials that emit strong fumes. Remember
to remove it from the bag and replace the detector when these activities are finished.
