the stove or in the oven.

from curtains/fabrics/walls and ceiling.

other flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a
fire or explosion may result.

WARNING
Explosive fuel clouds may be present at fuel filling
stations. Before refueling (either gasoline, diesel
fuel or Propane) be sure to turn off all pilot flames
and appliances in your motor home. Turning off
the Propane at the tank is insufficient. Pilotless
appliances may still spark or pilot flames may not
extinguish immediately.

Smoke Detector/Alarm

A battery-powered smoke detector/alarm is
mounted on the ceiling in the living/cooking area
of your motor home. Please read the smoke detec-
tor/alarm operating instructions for details on test-
ing and caring for this important safety device.
Test the smoke detector/alarm after the motor
home has been in storage, before each trip, and
at least once a week during use.
The smoke detector/alarm should never be dis-
abled due to nuisance or false alarm from cook-
ing smoke, a dusty furnace , etc.
Ventilate your motor home with fresh air and
the detector/alarm will shut off. Do not discon-
nect the battery.
Replace the battery once a year or immediately
when the low battery BEEP signal sounds.
If the smoke detector/alarm fails to operate
with new batteries , replace it with a new unit,
available through an authorized Fleetwood
Dealer.

MONITOR PANEL

The monitor panel allows you to conveniently
check the approximate levels in the holding tanks,
Propane tank and to check battery condition (s) .
Electrical probes installed in the tanks measure
the levels at various points in the tanks.
NOTE
✓
If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get coated
with grease, the monitor panel may indicate falsely or
not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils or similar sub-
stances down drains or the toilet. If this is unavoid-
able, the holding tank(s) should be washed out with
a soapy water solution. See your dealer for additional
information.
