Range; Microwave; Refrigerator; Furnace - Gulf Stream Travel Trailer Owner's Manual

RANGE

Also operated with LP gas are the range burners and the oven (optional). The basic operation is the same as the
units in your home except that extra care must be taken to provide adequate ventilation in your RV. Unlike your home,
the RV has limited air space, thus, a limited amount of oxygen available for combustion.
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAMES, SUCH AS THE RANGE BURNERS, TO WARM THE LIVING
AREA OF THE RV. THE FLAMES CONSUME THE OXYGEN IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN
ASPHYXIATION.
Always provide adequate ventilation when using the range and oven. It is always best to use the range exhaust
hood and open a window slightly.
Your owner's packet contains owner's manuals for the range and optional oven. Read these over carefully to
become familiar with the safe operation of these appliances.

MICROWAVE

The optional microwave is no different than that found in your home. It relies on 110-volt power for operation. Read
over the microwave oven's owner's manual to find all the information on its operation and cleaning. Due to the limited
amount of electrical power commonly found in RV's, you may not be able to use your microwave unless other
electronic devices with a heavy electrical load (air conditioners) are first turned off. Please refer to the 30 amp and 50
amp 110 volt section of this manual for more information on electrical loads.

REFRIGERATOR

Unlike your home refrigerator, the unit on your RV can be operated on LP gas and 120-volt AC electricity. Read over
the owner's manual provided in your owner's packet before putting the refrigerator into operation.
The refrigerator will not operate correctly if the vehicle is not level while parked. The refrigerator coolant will not
circulate properly if the unit is not level.
For best results, make sure the outside sidewall vent and roof vent are always clear of debris. Without proper
circulation of the rear coils the unit will not keep food cold.
Upon initial operation, or after being stored, the refrigerator it could take up to 24 hours before the unit is cool enough
for use.
When being used on the 110 AC setting, the refrigerator circuit board still requires 12 volt operation. Make sure your
batteries have sufficient charge prior to operation.

FURNACE

Your RV is equipped with a forced-air furnace similar to the type found in most homes with the exception that it is
fueled by LP gas. Each unit is equipped with a wall mounted thermostat that controls the temperature. An operating
manual for the furnace is included in your owner's packet.
The furnace is designed to have un-obstructed airflow from all its vents, including interior and exterior. If any vent is
blocked the furnace may shut itself off.
The furnace igniter is powered by your 12-volt battery system. If the system battery is low the furnace blower will
come on, however the furnace will not ignite. Make sure you have sufficient battery power before operating the
furnace.
