• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hairspray, or other aerosols
near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere
with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke and CO. Never
attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action
will void your warranty.
Move the Smoke/CO Alarm and place in another location
prior to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
• Painting
• Wallpapering
• Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the above
projects will protect the sensors from damage. Do not place
near a nappy bucket.
WARNING:
Reinstall the Smoke/CO Alarm as soon as
possible to assure continuous protection.
When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are
used, the area must be well ventilated. The following
substances can effect the CO sensor and may cause false
readings and damage to the sensor:
Methane, propane, iso-butane, iso-propanol, ethyl acetate,
hydrogen sulphide, sulphide dioxides, alcohol based products,
paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hairspray, aftershave,
perfume and some cleaning agents.
