Use and Care Manual

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

cleaners could damage the alarm. If the alarm is in Fault mode, the alarm may be in need of cleaning.

After cleaning, press the Test/Hush button. If the fault does not clear, the alarm needs to 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 CO

and Indoor Air Quality.

• Never attempt to disassemble the unit to clean inside. This action will void your warranty.

• The following substances can affect the CO Sensor and may cause false readings and damage to

the sensor: Methane, propane, isobutane, iso-propanol, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfide di-

oxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner, solvents, adhesives, hair spray, aftershave, perfume,

and some cleaning agents.

• Move the 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 contaminates are used, the area must be well ventilated.

WARNING: REINSTALL THE ALARM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE CONTINUOUS

DETECTION.
