Maintenance - Orca OM509-LS User Manual

Please replace the alarm if it malfunctions
or reaches the end of its life.

8. Maintenance

• Test the alarm weekly.
• Detach the alarm monthly and
clean with a vacuum cleaner
brush attachment, particularly
underneath the alarm and around
the grill (see Fig.15)
• Do not paint the alarm.
• Do not locate the alarm in dusty, steamy or smoky
areas of the dwelling.
• Both designed alarm lifetime and battery standby
time (including weekly test) is 10 years. The
battery service time decreases if the alarm is
frequently activated for longer periods.
• Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm
is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect
lives or property from fire. Smoke alarms are not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters
are responsible to insure their own lives and
property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke
alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you must
test the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10
years.
