10. CLEANING YOUR ALARM
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed
air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings
around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with
a damp cloth. Use only water to dampen the cloth, use of detergents or clean-
ers could damage the alarm.
After cleaning, test your alarm by using the test button. If cleaning does
not restore the alarm to normal operation, the alarm should be replaced.
• Never use detergent or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Avoid spraying air freshener, 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.
Break through label with a screw driver.
Turn the screw to the “OFF” location.
This will deactivate the alarm, stop the
low battery “chirp” and render the alarm
safe for disposal by draining the battery.
TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM:
Remove the alarm from the mounting plate
by rotating it in the direction indicated by
the arrows on the cover of the alarm.
On back side of alarm, locate the
area on product label.
