Edwards Signaling 517TC - Manual (Page 6)

4. Select three (3) standard size wash buckets and fill them each with
one gallon of normal tap water (distilled or de-ionized treated
water is recommended as a final rinse if water is extremely
hard in your area).
5. Add 1/8 cup of Ivory dishwashing liquid to the first bucket of
water and allow it to mix thoroughly, then place one dirty alarm
into the soap water mixture until it becomes completely cov-
ered or submerged.
NOTE: If the alarms are exceptionally dirty, you may wish to
first wipe off any excess dirt before washing alarm so as not to
dirty the wash water too quickly.
DO NOT open alarm for cleaning.
WARNING: ONLY IVORY DISHWASHING LIQUID IS TO BE
USED. OTHER BRANDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
AND MAY CAUSE YOUR ALARM TO MALFUNCTION.
6. Allow alarm to soak for approximately 10 minutes (longer if ex-
tremely dirty). Then agitate for 5 or 10 seconds to flush out any
remaining dirt left inside alarm’s housing.
7. Remove alarm from wash water and transfer directly to one of
the first rinse buckets containing clear water. Again, allow alarm
to become completely submerged, agitate once more for 5 or
10 seconds to remove soap residue.
8. Finally, transfer alarm to your second and final rinse bucket,
repeating method found in Step 7, then remove alarm to a
clean dry area for a period of 48 hours to allow it to thoroughly
dry.
WARNING: SMOKE ALARMS ARE TO BE AIR DRIED ONLY.
DO NOT PLACE ALARM IN OVEN, MICROWAVE OR USE A HOT
AIR BLOWER TO ACCELERATE DRYING TIME. THIS COULD
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR SMOKE ALARM.
IMPORTANT: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE WASH AND RINSE
WATER AFTER FIVE (5) ALARMS. IF YOUR ALARMS ARE EX-
TREMELY DIRTY, WATER SHOULD BE CHANGED MORE FRE-
QUENTLY.
In the event you experience difficulty in the cleaning of your smoke
alarm or if you have any questions, please contact Edwards or
your local Edwards distributor.
WARNING:
If the smoke alarm does not work properly, do not try and fix it
yourself. This will void your warranty. DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT
YOURSELF.
IMPORTANT: Edwards recommends alarms be tested a mini-
mum of once a week.
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your
alarm. You may ignite and damage the alarm as well as your
home. The test feature accurately simulates smoke conditions
and tests the alarm’s functions as required by Underwriters Labo-
ratories.
WARNING: Do not cover, tape, or otherwise block the open-
ings of your smoke alarm. These openings are designed to allow
air to pass through your smoke alarm, thus sampling the air around
the alarm.
FAILURE TO REGULARLY CLEAN THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL
RESULT IN FALSE ALARMS. A BUILD UP OF DUST CREATES
AN OBSCURATION THAT SIMULATES SMOKE. THIS MEANS
THE UNIT WILL GO INTO ALARM WITHOUT A FIRE CONDI-
TION.
