The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in
the construction of Ei Electronics Alarms to minimise the effects of contamination.
However it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect
contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that
it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs in the
vicinity of the Smoke Alarm should be promptly removed. In certain circumstances
even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing
chamber causing the Alarm to sound. If this happens the Smoke Alarm must be
returned for servicing or replacement. Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally
unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination
is not covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for all such servicing work.
