Cleaning and Testing your ZEN Smoke Alarms!
Testing Your Interconnected Photoelectric ZEN Smoke Alarms
It is recommended to test ZEN Smoke Alarms monthly. The smoke alarm test sequence should take no more than 10 seconds and will silence automatically.
How to test your ZEN Smoke Alarms:
- Press the test button once on the remote control or on the centre surface of any smoke alarm.
- When the alarm sounds loud and clear and is accompanied by a red flashing light it means your smoke alarm is working correctly.
- Allow the smoke alarms to finish their full test sequence without pressing any other buttons – all other interconnected smoke alarms will silence automatically within 10 seconds.
Cleaning Your Interconnected Photoelectric ZEN Smoke Alarms
How to clean your ZEN Smoke Alarms:
- Clean your ZEN Smoke Alarm every 6 months by wiping it down with a soft dry microfibre cloth and then gently vacuuming around it with the soft brush attachment from a vacuum cleaner. Do not spray chemical cleaning agents onto the smoke alarm as this may confuse the sensor and induce nuisance alarming.
- Be sure to remove cobwebs or any other interference material from the ceiling area around your photoelectric smoke alarms.
