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 clean, dry
cloth. Do not use water, detergents or cleaners as they may damage the alarm. If
the alarm is in Fault mode, the alarm may be in need of cleaning. After cleaning,
press the 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 use a hair dryer to clean the alarm, as it may damage the alarm and
impact performance.
• Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s
ability to detect smoke.
• Never attempt to disassemble the unit to clean inside. This action will void your
warranty.
WARNING: REINSTALL THE ALARM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE
CONTINUOUS DETECTION.
Replace batteries with one of the following approved brands:
Energizer E91, Gold Peak 15A or Golden Power GLR6A.
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING:
Use only the batteries specified. Use of different batteries may
have a detrimental effect on the alarm. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do
not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE: Do not use lithium batteries in this unit. A good safety measure is to
replace the batteries at least once a year, or at the same time you change your
clocks for daylight saving time. A missing or improperly installed battery will
render the unit inoperable.
WARNING:
Failure to install batteries in the correct orientation will prevent
proper operation of this alarm and will prevent its response to fire hazards.
