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
• 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.
WARNING:
a. When disposing of the alarm, the alarm must be
deactivated which discharges the battery to a safe
level for disposal.
b. Deactivation of the alarm is permanent. Once the
alarm has been deactivated, it cannot be reactivated!
c. Once deactivated, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT
SMOKE or Carbon Monoxide.
d. Once the alarm is deactivated the battery will be
depleted and the alarm will no longer function.
e. Once the alarm has been deactivated, it cannot be
mounted onto the mounting plate or reactivated.
WARNING! Failure to turn off alarm as instructed prior
to disposal may create potential for lithium battery
related fire or hazard.
