Cleaning

Routine Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the device regularly using only a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents, as many contain silicones that will damage the combustible sensor, or alcohols that will temporarily influence certain electrochemical sensor readings.
Dust and Dirt Exposure: Use a dry, soft bristled brush to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the apparatus, especially at the sensor openings. If there is a buildup of dust or dirt particles remaining in the sensor area after brushing, use a vacuum to remove remaining particles, but maintain at least a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) distance from the gas detector.
Water Exposure: If the apparatus is exposed to water, turn the device sensor side down and gently shake water off the sensor area. Any remaining water can be removed with a clean dry cloth. If the apparatus is submerged in water, perform a calibration before use.
