15. Cleaning your Detector

yOur DETECTOr ShOuLD bE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A yEAr
You can clean the detector by using a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the openings around
the perimeter of the detector. The outside of the detector can be wiped with a damp cloth. Use only water to
dampen the cloth, use of detergents or cleaners could damage the detector.
If the detector is in fault mode and the AMBER LED is blinking a fault code of 2, 3, 8, or 9 flashes (after a
Test/Hush button push and the temporal test sequence), the detector may be in need of cleaning. After
cleaning, press the Test/Hush button. If the fault does not clear, the detector needs to be replaced. The
clean-me signal will also be sent to the panel when the sensitivity level becomes too high.
• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the detector.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, or other aerosols near the detector.
• Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect smoke.
• Never attempt to disassemble the detector to clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
Storing the detector in a plastic bag during any of the above projects will protect the sensors from damage.
When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated.
WArNINg: reinstall the DETECTOr as soon as possible to assure continuous protection.
