Installation Guide

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 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.
• The following substances can affect the CO sensor and may cause false read-
ings and damage to the sensor: Methane, propane, isobutane, iso-propanol,
ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide dioxides, alcohol based products,
paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, after shave, perfume, and
some cleaning agents.
• 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. When household cleaning supplies or similar contami-
nates are used, the area must be well ventilated.
WARNING: Reinstall the Smoke/CO Alarm as soon as possible
to ensure continuous protection.
