Safety & Security
FIRE
Important: Your attention is drawn to the
notice affixed inside the caravan advising on
fire precaution, ventilation and what to do in
case of fire.
IN CASE OF FIRE
1. Get everyone out of the caravan as
quickly as possible using whichever exit is
the quickest, including windows. Do not
stop to collect any personal items.
2. Raise the Alarm. Call the Fire Brigade.
3. Turn off the gas supply valve if it is safe to
do so.
4. Turn off the electricity supply at supply
point.
SMOKE ALARM
This is approved by The National Caravan
Council. The NCC requires that all new or
used holiday homes sold by its members are
fitted with a smoke alarm featuring an alarm
silence facility.
Maintenance
Test the smoke alarm every week, e.g. when
doing the vacuuming, by pressing the test
button for at least 10 seconds. The alarm
signal is a penetrating, rapidly pulsating
signal. The alarm sounds as long as the test
button is pressed or there is smoke in the
detector. When the alarm goes off, always
check carefully to see that there is no fire
and never remove the battery from the alarm
except when changing it!
Always test the alarm immediately after a
long period of absence. Under the test
button, there is a red control lamp which
twinkles once a minute. This shows that the
battery is correctly connected. If the alarm
does not sound when testing, the battery
must be replaced. The alarm should be
dusted and cleaned regularly with a slightly
damp cloth. In connection with annual
battery change or when required, e.g. false
alarm, clean and vacuum the alarm carefully
using a soft brush.
Removing and Replacing the Alarm
Carefully twist the alarm anti-clockwise.
Replace as diagram above.
Battery Replacement
The battery lasts approximately one year.
About a month before the battery is
completely flat, the alarm emits a short
signal once a minute, this is the signal that
the battery needs changing. The alarm works
as normal during this time.
The battery should be 9 Volt batteries GP
1604,S,A, Eveready 522,216, Duracell
MN1604. Always test the alarm after
changing the battery.
