CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as out-
lined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior
of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vac-
uum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the open-
ings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm
can be wiped with a damp cloth. After cleaning, reinstall your
alarm and test your alarm by using the test button. If cleaning
does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
