The appliances installed in your motor home are tested
by independent laboratories and comply with rigid stan-
dards established by these organizations. All appli-
ances are covered by Fleetwood's Ownercare Warranty
program. Each appliance is also warranted by its manu-
facturer.
NOTE: The individual appliance manuals in-
cluded in your Owner's Information Package
contain detailed operating and maintenance in-
structions. Always refer to the respective manual
for the appliance in question.
WARNING
THE WATER HEATER AND FURNACE COM-
BUSTION AIR EXHAUST PORTS MAY BE EX-
TREMELY HOT DURING WATER HEATER AND
FURNACE OPERATION. DO NOT TOUCH
THESE OUTLETS OR ALLOW ANY MATERIAL
TO COME WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF
EXHAUST PORTS WHILE OPERATING THE
WATER HEATER ANDIOR FURNACE.
WATER HEATER
The water heater operates on LP gas, and is much like
the one in your home. It contains an automatic shut off
valve which stops the gas supply if the water temperature
rises too high. The water heater is reached through an
access panel on the outside of the motor home.
CAUTION
DO NOT LIGHT WATER HEATER UNTIL IT IS
FILLED WITH WATER.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the galley sink. If water
flows continuously the heater is full.
REFRIGERATOR
Consult the operating instructions furnished in your
Owner's Information Package. Before operating the
refrigerator when the motor home is parked, make sure
it is level. If it is not level, the refrigerant will not circulate,
cooling action will stop, and the refrigerati'on system may
be damaged.
The refrigerator uses the absorption principle of opera-
tion. If you plan to cool food or drinks in high outside
temperatures, pre-cool the food, and park the motor

home with the refrigerator vent door in the shade. Once
the interior of the refrigerator is cool, the refrigeration
system will usually maintain this temperature. If the
inside of the refrigerator is hot, the food is not pre-cooled,
and the outside temperature is high, be prepared for
longer cooling times.
FURNACE
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by LPgas. 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 usEid.ThisiS 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

MOTOR HOME.ASPHYXIATfON OR CARBON

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 airfor
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 appli-
ances will prevent the dangers of asphyxiation. Refer to
"LightingLP Gas Appliances" section in the "LP GAS
SYSTEM" chapter of this manual.
