LP-GAS DETECTOR

2 • 8 6
A smoke alarm is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However,
there are some simple steps to perform in order to keep the smoke alarm
working properly:
• Test the smoke alarm once a week.
• Keep a supply of 9 Volt DC batteries on hand.
• Vacuum the slots in the cover and sides with a soft brush attach-
ment every month. Test the smoke alarm once the unit has been
vacuumed.
• The smoke alarm should be cleaned every six months to help keep
the unit working efficiently.
• The smoke alarm will beep once a minute when a low battery
condition exists. The battery must be replaced immediately.
If the alarm does not sound when the test button is pushed, or with a smoke
test, try the following:
• Inspect for obvious damage.
• Check for the recommended battery type.
• Check the battery for proper connection or replace
the battery if needed.
• Gently vacuum as recommended.
If these procedures do not correct the problem, do not attempt repairs. If
the smoke alarm is within the warranty period and the terms indicate the
nature of the problem, return the unit to your dealer. Smoke detectors beyond
the warranty period cannot be economically repaired.
both LP-Gas and methane gas. Liquefied Petroleum (LP)
Gas is heavier than air; methane gas is lighter than air.
LP-Gas will settle to the lowest point, generally the floor
of the motorhome. Methane gas will rise. The gas detector
is also sensitive to other fumes such as hair spray, of which
most contain butane as the propellant. Butane, like
propane, is heavier than air and will settle to the floor
level where it will be detected. When this occurs, press
reset button to stop the alert sound for 60 seconds.
