12. 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 tamper resist feature has been activated, refer to tamper resist feature description in section 8 for removal
instructions. Remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in the direction of the "off"
arrow on the cover.
If the alarm is in Fault mode, 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.
