Basic Rules For LPG Safety

A warning label is displayed in the cooking area
reminding you to provide an adequate supply of fresh
air for combustion� The amount of oxygen supply in a
trailer is limited due to its compact design� When using
the cooking appliances, proper ventilation will prevent
dangers 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�
DANGER
Do not use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air
for safe operation. Before operation, open an
overhead vent or turn on an exhaust fan and
open a window.
DANGER
A warning label has been located near the
LPG container. This label reads: DO NOT FILL
CONTAINER(S) TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT
OF CAPACITY. Overfilling the LPG container can
result in uncontrolled gas flow, which can cause
fire or explosion. A properly filled container will
contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as
liquid LP gas.
DANGER
Do not store LPG tanks within a vehicle. LPG
tanks are equipped with safety devices that vent
gas should the pressure become excessive.
DANGER
Portable fuel burning equipment, including
wood and charcoal grills and stoves, shall not
be used inside the recreational vehicle. The use
of this equipment inside the recreational vehicle
may cause fires or asphyxiation.
DANGER
Do not bring or store LPG tanks, gasoline,
or other flammable liquids inside the vehicle
because a fire or explosion may result.
