6. How to maintain your CO Alarm

To keep your CO Alarm in good working order, you must
follow these simple steps:
What you should do:
Test the CO Alarm once a week by pressing the
Test/Reset button.
Vacuum the CO Alarm cover once a week to remove
accumulated dust. Use the soft brush attachment of
your vacuum cleaner, and unplug the CO Alarm from
the electrical outlet before vacuuming.
Instruct children never to touch, unplug or otherwise
interfere with the CO Alarm.
What you should NOT do:
Never use detergents or solvents to clean the CO
Alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or
temporarily contaminate the sensor.
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other
aerosols near the CO Alarm.
Do not paint the CO Alarm. Paint will seal the vents and
interfere with proper sensor operation.
Do not mount the CO Alarm directly above or near a
diaper pail, as high amounts of methane gas can cause
a CO Alarm.
If you will be staining or stripping wood floors or furniture,
painting, wall-papering, or using aerosols or adhesives for
a do-it-yourself project or hobby, before you begin:
Remove the CO Alarm to a remote location to prevent
possible damage to or contamination of the sensor.
