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.
