14. Cleaning Your Alarm

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 Red LED is blinking a fault code of 10 or 14 flashes (after a Test/Hush
button push), 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.
