General maintenance:

steps:
1: Verify the unit's sound, LED light and the solenoid valve operation by
pushing the
TEST/HUSH
button once a week. Monthly checking if equipment
can work well by pushing a little gas from a cigar lighter near the ventilation
slots. If the unit is working normally, the unit will induce alarm.
Caution: Testing the detector with an uncontrolled source of gas (for
example a cigarette lighter) may give a misleading result and could damage
the detector. If induce a fault, please shut down and then reboot the device.
2: Remove the unit from the wall and clean the alarm cover and vents with
a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt.
3: Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
4: Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near the GAS
Alarm.

sensor's ability to detect the gas. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean
inside. This action will void your warranty.

assure continuous protection from methane.

area should be ventilated.
