12. Maintenance

Your alarm should be cleaned at least once a year
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using
compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming
through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of
the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to dampen
the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the alarm.
If the alarm is in Fault mode and the amber LED is blinking a fault code
of 10 flashes, the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning,
press the Test/Hush button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs
to be replaced.
• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near
the 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.
