Introduction
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms
Please read the user instructions provided with
your holiday home.
WARNING: These are safety devices
provided for your protection. Please ensure
that they are maintained and working correctly
by following the user instructions.
The devices require regular testing and
cleaning. See user instructions. The batteries
require replacing on units with replaceable
batteries, or the whole unit replacing on sealed
units, as soon as the low battery warning
signal is activated. See user instructions
supplied with your holiday home.
Do not attempt to repair either alarm as doing
so will invalidate your warranty.

LPG Gas (see also Gas section)
WARNING: If you smell gas or suspect a
leak or in the event of a fire and if it is safe to
do so, isolate the gas appliances and turn
off the gas bottles at the regulator. Evacuate
the caravan and ventilate. Seek professional
advice as to the cause of the leak.
WARNING: Never use a naked flame when
checking for leaks
All gas appliances and gas taps have a gas
dispersal vent within the same compartment. It
is essential that these are not blocked or made
ineffective
Safe use of electricity
(see also Electricity section)
• Always use an NICEIC registered electrician
for any work or modification to your electrical
system or appliances.
• Ensure that you understand the working of all
electrical switches in your holiday home.
• Regularly check that all electrical cable
terminal connections are firm and secure.
Check exposed cables for wear and damage.
• Keep spare appliance fuses handy.
WARNING: Remember don't touch it, if you
don't understand it
Escape paths
It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions or
hazards (see layouts further in this book).
Children
Do not leave children alone in the caravan in any
event and keep potentially dangerous items out
of reach as you would at home e.g. matches,
medicine etc.
Children under the age of 6 must be supervised
whilst using the high level bunks (where fitted).
Ventilation
The ventilation of your holiday home has been
designed to comply with BS EN 721. These
are fixed points of ventilation required by the
European Standards, calculated to suit the
individual needs of your holiday home.
All high level ventilation is achieved by means
of ceiling ventilators and low level ventilation in
the main living area is positioned underneath a
unit in the kitchen area venting directly into the
living area.
Low level bedroom ventilation is positioned in
the sides of the fitted furniture at floor level.
These round vents can be removed for cleaning
if required by removing the two fixing screws.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a regular
basis using a small brush and a domestic
vacuum cleaner.
