How to Care for Your Alarm
To keep your alarm in good working order, you must follow these simple
steps:
• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.
• Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove accumulated dust.
Unplug the alarm from the electrical outlet and use the soft brush
attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
• Instruct children never to touch, unplug, or otherwise interfere with the
alarm.
• Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can
permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near
the alarm.
• Do not paint the alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with
proper sensor operation.
• Do not mount the alarm directly above or near a nappy pail.
