When equipped, the exterior kitchen unit provides a convenient outdoor food preparation and clean-up
station. The outside kitchen unit is accessed by an exterior compartment door, usually located at the rear,
curb-side of the motorhome. Compared model-to-model, the kitchen unit may contain different features, but
all will have a sink, with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, and a GFCI 120 volts alternating current
(AC) receptacle. Also located along the right-side rear, some motorhome models provide a convenient liquid
petroleum (LP) gas connection for a portable grill or other gas appliance.
Use caution whenever a LP gas appliance is connected and in-use. Inspect the gas supply hose for any
cracks or damage. Do not use if damaged in any way. Inspect the burners, they could have shifted out-of-
place during transport. Keep the appliance well away from the side of the motorhome or other flammable
materials. Always turn OFF the gas supply when appliance is not in use. Instruct children to stay clear of hot
devices and allow adequate time to cool before stowing away any cooking device or appliance.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPANE AND GAS-BURNER APPLIANCES

Propane Gas Use

Most RV cooktops, ranges, and refrigerators use propane (LP) gas or a combination of gas/electric to
operate. Some appliances may have electronic gas ignition, while others may require a pilot light to be lit
before operating.
PROPANE GAS IS HIGHLY VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT USE MATCHES OR A
FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS. USE ONLY APPROVED PROPANE GAS LEAK TESTING SOLUTIONS
FOR LEAK DETECTION.
Unapproved solutions can damage copper tubing and brass fittings. Never attempt to adjust
propane gas regulators. Only qualified personnel should perform any maintenance or repair to the
propane gas system.
DO NOT USE GAS APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING.
CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
PREVENT ANY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLOTHING, PAPER OR CLOTH TOWELS,
CURTAINS OR SHADES, ETC., FROM BECOMING CLOSE TO OPEN FLAME OR HOT SURFACES.
