Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a
cloth dampened in clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not spray the front panel
of the alarm with cleaning agents or waxes. This action may damage the sensor
causing an alarm or cause the alarm to malfunction. Do not paint the face of the
alarm.
Testing the combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm
The TEST/RESET button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. The
TEST/Mute switch is located on the front of the alarm. Press and hold the test
button for 1 second. The alarm is working properly if the GREEN indicator light
changes color to RED and the horn beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also
blink red.

NOTE : Pressing the test button does not check the sensor operation. Refer to
the carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturers user’s manual provided in the
Warranty Packet for additional information on testing the sensors.
WARNING
Never turn the 12-volt battery disconnect control to the off position and
disconnect the battery cable to silence the alarm.
WARNING
The alarm will automatically sense when the level of carbon monoxide in the
air reaches below dangerous levels. You should stay outside the vehicle in
fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand
too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud because it
is designed to wake a person in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the
alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing.
WARNING
Test the alarm operation after the motor home has been in storage, before
each trip and at least once per week during use.
