Maintenance and Cleaning:
In addition to weekly testing, the alarm requires periodic
cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Clean the alarm at
least once a year to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Use a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush, vacuum all sides and
covers of smoke alarm. This alarm has a low battery monitor
which will cause the alarm to “chirp” approx every 50
seconds and the red LED flashes once at the same time for a
minimum of 7 days when the battery gets low. If there is a
defective battery or other failures, you can refer to “Trouble
shooting” for solution, if there are still failures during
warranty, you can return to your retailer.
IMPORTANT:
Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean
inside. This will void the warranty.
Repair:
Caution: Do not attempt to repair the alarm. It will affect
your warranty.
If the alarm is not operating properly, and is still under
warranty, return it to the original place you buy. Pack it in a
well-padded carton, and ship to the original place you buy.
If the alarm is no longer under warranty, have a licensed
electrician replace it immediately with a comparable alarm.
Trouble shooting:
DO NOT disconnect battery to quiet an unwanted alarm. This
will remove your protection. Fan the air or open a window to
remove smoke or dust.
