General Maintenance

To keep your Smoke 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 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.
Move the Smoke 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 Alarm as soon as possible
to assure continuous protection.
