General Maintenance
To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working order, please
follow these simple steps:
• Verify the unit's alarm and LED lights operation by pushing
the test/reset button once a week.
• Remove the unit from mounting bracket and vacuum the alarm
cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to
remove dust and dirt. REINSTALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER
CLEANING AND THEN TEST USING THE TEST/RESET BUTTON!
• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols
near the Smoke/CO Alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere
with the sensor's ability to detect smoke and CO. Never attempt
to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will void your
warranty.
Move the Smoke/CO Alarm and place in another location prior
to performing any of the following:
• Staining or stripping wood floors or furniture
• Painting or wall papering
• Using adhesives
Storing the unit in a plastic bag during any of the above
projects will protect the sensors from damage. Do not place
near a diaper pail.
WARNING: Reinstall the Smoke/CO Alarm as soon as
possible to assure continuous protection.
When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminates are
used, the area must be well ventilated. The following
substances can effect the CO sensor and may cause false
readings and damage to the sensor:
Methane, propane, iso-butane, iso-propanol, ethyl acetate,
hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol based products,
paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, after shave,
perfume, and some cleaning agents.
