DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for
comfort heating. Can lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for
safe operation.
Before operating:
Open vents or windows slightly or turn on
exhaust fan prior to using cooking
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use can
result in death or serious injury.
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is
limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) avoids 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. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.

PROPANE GAS LEAKS

Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
