CAMPING & OPERATING
odd flavor. Foul odor or bad taste in the ice
cubes usually means it is time to replace the
filter. Sometimes ice will also absorb odor in
the refrigerator and freezer. In that instance,
discard the ice, dispose of old foods,
thoroughly clean the refrigerator, including the
ice bin, and add deodorizers specially
designed for use in the refrigerator and
freezer.
Winterization
Fig. 8.19 Icemaker water valve access, located behind the
refrigerator (remove the exterior refrigerator vent).
It will be necessary to winterize the icemaker
during cold weather storage. Consult the
vendor operator's manual for instructions.
When putting the icemaker back into use after
winterizing, discard the first few trays of ice
that can contain contaminants.

portable
equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal grills or
stoves) inside the RV.
Space is limited so plan ahead when it comes
to stocking your kitchen. Use cookware that is
easy to store and can provide multiple use.
For example, instead of multiple bowls,
purchase bowls that can be used to mix, bake
and serve all-in-one. Carefully stow glassware
to avoid breakage while traveling. Stow dry
foods inside plastic boxes to prevent spills
from falling over.

fuel
burning
Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside
a RV is limited. The following warning label is
located in the kitchen area to remind you to
provide an adequate amount of fresh air for
combustion. To avoid danger of asphyxiation,
provide proper ventilation when using the gas
range top or gas oven. Do not remove the
following label from your RV:

Never leave cooking food unattended.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over the
tops of the other range burners. Ensure
that pans used are large enough to contain
the food and avoid boil-overs. Heavy
splattering or spills left on the cook top can
ignite and cause burns. If using glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed utensils (or cookware) verify it
is safe for use on the top burners. Only
certain types of utensils (or cookware) are
suitable for surface or top burner use.
Do not turn the gas range burner controls
ON and allow propane gas to escape
before lighting.
