CARBON MONOXIDE - THE FACTS
• When gas does not burn properly,
poisonous carbon monoxide fumes may be
produced.
• You cannot see or smell carbon monoxide
fumes. They are invisible, odourless,
colourless and tasteless.
• Fumes from partially burnt gas kill more
people than fires and explosions from
unburnt gas.
• Faulty gas appliances, poor ventilation and
incorrect flues may produce carbon
monoxide.
• The danger signs on gas appliances are
stains, deposits of soot and excessively
yellow or orange flames
• Carbon monoxide can cause drowsiness,
dizziness, headaches, watering eyes, chest
pains or palpitations, sickness, stomach
pains or diarrhoea. Unfortunately, these are
vague symptoms produced by many other
causes such as influenza and food
poisoning.
• You should seek medical advice if you
persistently suffer from any of the
symptoms listed above after being in a
room where any gas burning appliance is
in use, and of course have your gas
installation checked by a competent
installer.
• Remember, gas appliances which are
designed, installed and used correctly,
regularly serviced, and properly
ventilated and flued are completely safe.
SAFE USE OF ELECTRICITY
• 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.
“Remember don’t touch if you don’t
understand it,”
• Always seek advice from your park
manager or a qualified electrician.
• As a general rule, all cables run vertically to
the ceiling from the visible point of
termination. However, you should always
check with a cable finder before drilling,
screwing, nailing etc.
Please pay particular attention to this on a
partition wall where there is an electrical
termination point on the other side.
WIRING
The maximum current rating of your holiday
home is dependant on whether the holiday
home is fitted with gas and mains electric
powered appliances, or mains electric
powered appliances only. The maximum is
usually shown as the rating of the RCD
(Residual Current Device) in the consumer
unit, typically 40amp or 80amp.
Further to this, the electrical supply to your
holiday home may be restricted, and please
check with your park manager before using
additional appliances within the holiday
home. In case of doubt consult the park
owner or his agent.
Within the holiday home the socket outlets
are wired in radial circuits using 1.5mm 3
core flexi cable, lighting is wired in radial
circuits using 1.0mm 3 core flexi cable, and
appliances are wired in 2.5mm flexi cable.
The Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)
or Residual Current Device (RCD) serves as
the main switch for your holiday home. It is
also the main emergency shut off switch for
your holiday home. It is a safety device
designed to protect you from the possibility
of shocks that could arise from a faulty
power pack supply, faulty appliance or a
fault on the holiday home causing the
current to run to earth.
