To keep your Smoke/CO Alarm in good working
order, please follow these simple steps:
• Verify unit alarm, lights and battery 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! IF

DESCRIPTION ON PAGE 13 FOR REMOVAL
INSTRUCTIONS.
• Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the
unit.
• Avoid spraying air fresheners, hairspray, 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
• Wallpapering
• 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 nappy bucket.
