OCCUPANT SAFETY
Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the
nozzle pointing away from you, and
release the locking mechanism.
Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the
base of the fire.
Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side until
the fire is out.
Disposal
Contact your local fire department, sanitation
department
or
environmental
department to find out what your local laws
stipulate before disposing of your used (non-
refillable) factory-installed dry chemical fire
extinguisher.

Three of the most common fire safety issues
are
smoking
in
bed,
unattended and cleaning with flammable
fluids. There is no
way to guarantee
against
injury
or
loss of life in a fire;
however, the smoke
alarm is intended to
help reduce those
risks. Proper use
and care of your
smoke alarm may
save your life.

Smoke alarms can only work if they are
properly located, installed, operational and
maintained and if smoke reaches them.
They are not foolproof.
•
The
factory-installed
smoke alarm is operational once the 9-volt
battery is correctly connected. The LED
will flash to show the battery is supplying
power to the alarm.
•
The smoke alarm will not function if the
battery is missing, disconnected, dead,
the wrong type of battery is used or the
battery is installed incorrectly.
•
When the product of combustion is
sensed, the smoke alarm sounds a loud

Always call the fire department, no
matter how small the fire. However, be
aware that if a fire threatens your RV, you
should
not
place
emergency services from inside the RV. It
is better to get out first and place the call
from somewhere else.
If you feel a fire was caused by product
failure, contact Entegra Customer Service at
(877) 862-7101 for approval before you clean
any debris, enter, move or repair your RV
(failure to notify Entegra Coach may result in
loss of coverage).
How to test
Figure 3 Test smoke alarm
Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm
when testing. The alarm horn is loud and may
be harmful to your hearing. The test button
will accurately test all functions. Never use an
open flame from a match or lighter to test the
smoke alarm; you may ignite and set fire to
the smoke alarm and your RV. If the smoke
alarm does not test properly, replace it
immediately.
Battery replacement
When the battery becomes weak, the smoke
alarm will "beep" (the low battery warning). If
