INTERIOR
until the impurities are “burned” off. This could take a number of hours, during
which time the alarm will be constantly “on”.
DETECTOR TEST
Press the test button for 5 to 6 seconds until the alarm sounds then release the test
button. The red LED should flash and the alarm sound for approximately 4 minutes.
This test should be performed at least once a week during normal vehicle operation,
and after periods of storage, and before each trip.
WARNING: Have a professional check your system if you have any
doubts.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire extinguisher just inside your forward door should have the charge checked on
a regular basis. Make sure your family, especially the cook, knows how to release the
extinguisher storage bracket, and how to properly operate the extinguisher. If you find
the directions on the extinguisher unclear, check with your local fire department for
professional advice on its operation and use. We’re sure they will be happy to assist
you and your family.
EXTERIOR WINDOWS AND SCREENS
The windows in your trailer are safety glass. To open: release the two lever locks at
the bottom, lift up on the two side operator handles until the window is in the desired
position, and place the operators into one of three positioning slots on the side of the
frames. To lock the windows, reverse this procedure.
Note: Some windows are designed as emergency escape exits. The rubber spline
holding the screen in place is looped so it can be pulled out in one swift motion.
You and all your family should practice escape procedures so they can be rapidly
accomplished even in total darkness.
WARNING: Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be
easily used for emergency exits.
These windows are cleaned in the same manner that ordinary windows are. Clean the
seals with a damp cloth or mild detergent every three to six months, taking care not
to use a strong solvent, as it will damage the seals. A coat of natural silicone lubricant
applied after the seal has dried will keep it flexible. Spread the lubricant evenly with a
brush or finger, working it into the surface. This is a good practice for all rubber seals
in your Airstream. For replacement of a damaged window contact an Airstream Service
Center or the factory.
SCREENS
Your plastic screens are easy to maintain. Just clean them occasionally with a damp
cloth.
NOTICE: Window and door screens will melt at the point of contact if touched by a
cigarette.
RANGE EXHAUST
NOTICE: The range exhaust cover on the outside the trailer has a swinging door
that can be latched during inclement weather and should be latched in travel. When
operating the exhaust fan, the latches should be turned so the door swings open
when the fan is on.
