To keep your Smoke Alarm in good working order, please follow
these simple steps:
• Verify the unit's alarm and LED lights operation by pushing the
test/reset button once a week.
• Remove the unit from mounting bracket and vacuum the
alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a
month to remove dust and dirt. REINSTALL IMMEDIATELY
AFTER CLEANING AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET
BUTTON!
• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near
the Smoke Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with
the sensor’s ability to detect smoke . Never attempt to
disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will void your
warranty.
Move the Smoke Alarm and place in another location prior to
performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
• Painting
• Wall papering
• Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the above projects
will protect the sensor from damage. Do not place near a diaper
pail.
WARNING: Reinstall the Smoke Alarm as soon as possible
to assure continuous protection.
