IMPORTANT
Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as wood,
charcoal, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane, butane, etc.
Ideally, it is recommended that a carbon monoxide alarm should be installed in or near
every room that has a fuel burning appliance such as any room heaters, water heaters,
cookers, grills, etc.
Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those who are intended to hear it. Seek
medical help if it is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from carbon monoxide
poisoning.
If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the problem. Ignoring the alarm may
result in sickness, injury or death. (CO may be present even if nothing is seen or
smelled by the user).
