For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for servicing such units. Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. If this happens the alarm must be returned to us for servicing or replacement. In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound or fail. Any insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Alarm should be promptly removed. 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. The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of our Alarms to minimize the effects of contamination. Repairs, when needed, must be performed by the manufacturer.Īll Alarms are prone to dust and insect ingress which can cause false alarms or failure to alarm. Other than the cleaning described above, no other customer servicing of this product is required. If they are clogged - an extremely rare occurance - the Smoke Alarm must be replaced.
