WARNING: IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE THE COOKING APPLIANCE FOR
COMFORT HEATING.
1. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation:
a. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan.
b. Open window.
2. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the
recreation vehicle, and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) will avoid danger of asphyxiation. It is especially important
that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of
asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.

LP Gas Consumption

Most gas appliances are operated intermittently. Unless there is heavy use of hot water, the water
heater consumption is minimal. During freezing weather and high wind conditions, furnace
consumption can be extremely high.
LP gas consumption depends upon individual use of appliances and the length of time operated.
Each gallon (3.86 liters) of LP gas produces about 91,500 BTUs (46,514 kilojoules) of heat energy.
Following is a list of typical appliance consumption when turned on fully for one hour of operation:
