Safety

Detector Test

The Test/Reset button is used to verify proper alarm
function� Executing the test function sounds the alarm
and illuminates the red LED� The test will sound the
alarm twice, with 4 beeps in 1 second, followed by 5
seconds of silence� By pressing the button, you can
verify that the alarm sounds and the LED functions
properly�
Activation of this detector indicates the possible
presence of LPG, which can cause an explosion
and/or fire, causing serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation or
an LPG appliance. Extinguish all open flames, open
your windows and door, and evacuate the unit
immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch.
Turn off the LPG using the remote shut off switch.
Do not re-enter your unit until a qualified repair
technician has corrected the problem and certified
the system as safe.
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor of
the device that burns away impurities in the air
during periods of normal use. During periods when
power is interrupted, impurities can build up on the
sensor. When power is returned to the detector,
the detector alarm may activate until the impurities
are burned off. This could take a number of hours,
during which time the alarm will be constantly on.
Have a qualified technician check your LPG system
annually or if you detect any signs of leaks or
malfunctions.
NOTE
Refer to Section 5 - Interior and Section 6 -
Exterior for additional LPG warnings and safety
information.

Basic Safety Information

A warning label has been positioned in the cooking
area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of
fresh air for combustion� Unlike homes, the amount
of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the
recreational vehicle, and proper ventilation when
using the cooking appliances will avoid dangers of
asphyxiation� It is especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort heating as the
danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is
used for long periods of time�
Portable fuel burning equipment, including wood and
charcoal grills and stoves, shall not be used inside
the recreational vehicle� The use of this equipment
inside the recreational vehicle may cause fires or
asphyxiation�
A Warning Label has been located near the LP
gas container� This label reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80% PERCENT
OF CAPACITY. Overfilling the LP gas container can
result in uncontrolled gas flow that can cause fire
or explosion. A properly filled container will contain
approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP
gas�
DO NOT store LP containers within vehicle. LP
containers are equipped with safety devices that
vent gas should the pressure become excessive.

If you smell gas

• Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights and all
smoking materials�
• Do not touch electrical switches�
• Shut off the gas supply using the remote shut off
switch�
• Open doors and other ventilating openings�
• Leave the area until odor clears�
• Have the gas system checked and leakage source
corrected before using again�
DO NOT use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation. Before operation, open overhead vent or
turn on exhaust fan and open window.
