Maintenance
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.
Replacing the Alarm
It is recommended this alarm be replaced ten years from the
date of manufacture. This date has been provided on the
product label which is located on the back of the alarm.
