4. Maintenance
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED!
Cleaning the Alarm
The alarm should be cleaned at least once a year.
•
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting plate as outlined
in previous sections. You can clean the alarm by using compressed
air or a vacuum cleaner hose with a soft brush attachment. Blow
or vacuum around the perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and
dirt. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth (do
not use a wet cloth to avoid water entering the unit).
•
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.
•
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.
