To keep your Smoke 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 Alarm.
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 or clean inside.   This action will void your
warranty.
Move  the  Smoke  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 sensor from damage.  Do not place near a diaper
pail.  
WARNING: Reinstall the Smoke Alarm as soon as possible
to assure continuous protection.
