FURNACE
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by LP gas. All
furnaces are equipped with a wall thermostat for individ-
ual temperature settings.
The furnace will not operate properly if your stored
personal items block the free flow of air at the registers
or the return air to the furnace. Storage under cabinets
should be done carefully so as to not crush or damage
the furnace ducting.
Smoke and fumes created as a result of burning off
manufacturing compounds are sometimes present the
first time the furnace is used. This is normal; however,
the initial light off should be done with windows and
doors open and be of adequate duration to completely
burn off the residue.
WARNING
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCES
ARE NOT SAFE FOR HEATING INSIDE THE
MOTOR HOME. ASPHYXIATION OR CAR-
BON MONOXIDE POISONING CAN OCCUR.
RANGE
The gas oven and burners are operated with LP gas.
The basic operation is the same as the range in your
home.
A warning label has been located in the cooking area to
remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion. Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen is
limited in an RV due to the size and construction of the
vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking ap-
pliances will prevent the dangers of asphyxiation. Refer
to "Lighting LP Gas Appliances" section in the "LP
GAS SYSTEM" chapter of this manual.
WARNING
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAMESTOWARMTHE
LIVING AREA. GAS COMBUSTION CON-
SUMES THE OXYGEN INSIDE THE MOTOR
HOME.
RANGE EXHAUST HOOD
The exhaust hood allows vapors and cooking odors to
escape, and provides a ventforthe galley area. Switches
for the fan and light are located on the front of the hood.
The hood has a grease filter screen which requires
periodic cleaning. To clean, remove the screen and
wash in soapy water. Rinse with water and let the screen
drain dry before replacing it. The fan blades may also be
cleaned with soapy water. Replace the light bulb with an
equivalent type.
The range hood may also house the monitor panel.
Operating instructions for the monitor panel functions
are in the "Living with Your Motor Home" chapter of
this manual.
AIR CONDITIONER
(IF EQUIPPED)
The optional roof-mounted air conditioner can operate
only when the motor home is connected to 120-volt AC
power from either a public utility or the generator. Be
sure to turn the air conditioner circuit breaker ON.
For best performance, park the motor home in the shade
and close curtains. Close doors and windows and turn
the temperature control knob for desired coolness.
Refer to the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions
for detailed operating and preventive maintenance re-
quirements. Rememberthat air conditioners use a large
portion of your available electric power.
Dual Air Conditioners
A rotary switch arrangement allows you to select which
air conditioner to use depending on the power source
involved. This switch is located in an overhead storage
cabinet. If the generator is running, either or both air
conditioners can be operated together. Turn the rotary
switch to position 1 or 2 and turn the air conditioner
unit(s) ON. If you are plugged in to power at a park, only
one air conditioner can be run if your motor home is
equipped with a 30 amp power cord. A 50 amp power
cord and available 50 amp park service will allow both air
conditioners to be operated at the same time. Turn the
switch to either position 1 or 2 to select the air condi-
tioner unit.
ENTERTAINMENT EQUIPMENT
If additional equipment requiring 12-volt power is in-
stalled in the motor home, obtain the 12-volt source from
a properly fused battery circuit. Consult an authorized
Fleetwood dealer before adding any additional equip-
ment to your motor home.
120-VOLTTELEVISION AND VCR (IF EQUIPPED)
The optional 120-voltTV and VCR will operate with 120-
volt power from the generator, public utility, or the
inverter (if equipped).
To operate on 12-volt: Turn the power inverter ON at the
switch on the front of the inverter. This will change 12-
volt battery power to 120-volt. Turn the VCR and TV on
as normal. The TV may require pushing the Power ON
switch several times if the TV is cold. To protect the TV
and VCR circuits, a low battery feature will turn off the
inverter and illuminate a red light. The inverter will
automatically start when the batteries are recharged.
