Maintenance
To keep your smoke alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:
1. Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicator are working properly by testing
the unit once a week.
2. As a minimum your smoke 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 fi tted 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 fi re.
6. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void
your warranty.
7. When removed, place the smoke alarm back in its proper location as soon
as possible, to assure continuous
protection from fi re.
8. When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the
area should be ventilated.
