CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as out-
lined in the beginning of this section (If tamper resist feature has
been used, refer to “REMOVING ALARM WITH TAMPER RESIST
FEATURE ACTIVE” in section 3 for removal instructions).
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by
using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or
vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using
the test button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal
operation the alarm should be replaced.
Do not paint your alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere
with the alarms ability to detect smoke and produce sound. Never
attempt to dismantle the alarm or clean the inside, as this will void
the warranty.
