10. Cleaning Your Alarm

YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in
"page 15 Battery Replacement and page 9, Figure 3E". 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.
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.
After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and check that the Red LED
flashes once every 40 to 50 seconds. Then test your alarm by using
the test button.
