the registers or the return air to the furnace.
Storage under cabinets should be done carefully
so as to not crush or damage any 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, when you light the furnace the
first time, open all windows and doors until the
residues are completely burned off.
Always follow the appliance manufacturer's
lighting and operating instructions.
If the furnace does not keep you comfortably
warm, NEVER use the range, oven or a catalytic
heater for supplementary heat — even with a
vent or window open.
Combustion air for the furnace comes from out-
side the RV. The products of combustion from
the furnace (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other gases) are returned to the outside air.

WARNING
Portable fuel-burning appliances are not safe for heat-
ing inside the motor home. Asphyxiation or carbon
monoxide poisoning can occur.
HYDRONIC HEATING SYSTEM
(If Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a
Hydronic heating system. The Hydronic heating
system is an on-board heating system that pro-
vides an on-demand, continuous supply of
domestic hot water, as well as interior heat
where and when it is needed. Both heating fea-
tures are accomplished by a diesel-fired burner
and an electric heating element (120 volt/AC).
These two heating sources maintain the tempera-
ture of the 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze. In addition, the hydronic heating sys-
tem may have the added feature designed to
preheat the vehicle's engine prior to starting.
This feature provides easy engine start-up when
cold weather conditions exist.

!
CAUTION
The Hydronic Heating System Exhaust is HOT!
DO NOT park in areas (i.e. dry, grassy fields) where
dry conditions exist underneath the vehicle, as a fire
may result.
DO NOT operate the heating inside an enclosed
building.
Operating the Hydronic Heating System diesel burner
or electric heating element without the 50/50 solution
of water and antifreeze will cause serious damage to
the heater.
The heater must be shut OFF when refueling.
NOTE
For more information on the Hydronic Heating
System see Owner s Information Package.
(If Equipped)
RANGE
The propane oven and burners are operated with
propane. The basic operation is the same as the
range in your home.
This warning label has been located in the cook-
ing area to remind you to provide an adequate
supply of fresh air for combustion. Unlike
homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited
due to the size of the recreational vehicle, and
proper ventilation when using the cooking appli-
ances(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 appliances is
used for long periods of time. Refer to Lighting
Propane Appliances section in the Propane
System chapter of this manual.
!
WARNING
It is not safe to use cooking appliances for comfort
heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe
operation.
Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan, and
2. Open window.
FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
