Smoke alarm going off at 2AM?
When your alarms are blaring, follow these steps to silence them:
HAVE A WALL CONTROLLER?
- Hit “LOCATE” first to find the alarm setting them off.
- Then hit “SILENCE.” After that, proceed to Step 1.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WALL CONTROLLER, OR THE ABOVE DIDN’T WORK, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. FIND THE CULPRIT:
- Look for the one flashing RAPIDLY red. (Other alarms may flash red occasionally, but you’re looking for one that’s flashing fast and looks different from the rest.)
2. VACUUM IT:
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean around the alarm.
- No vacuum? Use a hairdryer, leaf blower, or even wave cardboard at it – anything to clear air through the device.
3. CLEAR THE AIR:
- Get rid of any steam, dust, or airborne particles in the area that might be setting it off. Open windows, turn on fans.
