Tiffin Motorhomes WAYFARER 2021, Owner'S Manual

Page: 34 / 170

SMOKE DETECTOR
The Wayfarer motorhome is equipped with a
battery operated smoke detector (Figure 26.1),
located on the ceiling in the living area of the
motorhome. The smoke detector should be tested on
a weekly basis, before each trip and after any period
of storage of the motorhome.
If a low battery is noted or the alarm "chirps" to
indicate a low battery condition, immediately
replace the battery.
It is suggested that you keep replacement batteries
in the motorhome for any in transit replacements so
that the smoke alarms capabilities are never
compromised.
DO NOT disable the smoke detector for any transient, false alarm (e.g., cooking smoke,
dusty furnace, tobacco smoke etc.). Ventilate the motorhome with fresh air and the alarm
will reset.
