At least once a year clean the detector and base using a
vacuum or clean/dry compressed air paying particular
attention to the screens. In dusty areas or areas of heavy
insect concentration, cleaning might be required more

To clean the detectors:
1. Remove the duct housing cover.
2. Remove the detector from its base.
3. Clean both the base and cover with a clean cloth
and common window cleaner.
4. Remove the detector's cover.
Use a thin, flathead screwdriver to pry the chassis
from the cover. Then insert the screwdriver into the
cover slots and pry up (refer to Item 1 in Figure 2).
