Maintenance
1. Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing the unit
once a week.
2. As a minimum your heat alarm should be cleaned once every 3 months: Remove
the unit from the ceiling and clean the alarm cover and vents with your vacuum
cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment 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 alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability
to detect fire.
6. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your
warranty.
7. When removed, place the heat alarm back in its proper location as soon as
possible, to assure continuous protection from fire.
8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area
should be ventilated.
To keep your heat alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:
