Testing
Smoke Test: Hold a match, canned smoke or other
smoldering stick near the alarm with caution and gently
blow smoke through the alarm until it goes off.
If the alarm fails to activate with any of these tests, clean
it and repeat the tests. If cleaning does not restore the
alarm to normal operation, it should be replaced. Check
the date when the alarm should be replaced, which is
given on the sidewall of the alarm.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE
A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base.
You can clean the interior by using a vacuum cleaner hose
hes
to blow or vacuum through the openings. The outside can
m
be wiped with a dry cloth. After cleaning, reinstall and test
your alarm as described above.
