Range; Range Exhaust Hood; Air Conditioner(S) (If Equipped) - Fleetwood Southwind Owner's Manual

Appliances
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 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 cata-
lytic 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

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 lim-
ited due to the size of the recreation vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(s) avoids danger of asphyxiation. It
is especially important that cooking appliances
not be used for comfort heating as the danger
of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance
is use for long periods of time. Refer to the
Lighting Propane Appliances section, in the
10-2
Propane System chapter of this manual.
When you use the range oven for cooking or
baking, always open a vent or window to pro-
vide ventilation. Never operate the range or oven

RANGE EXHAUST HOOD

The exhaust hood allows vapors and cooking
odors to escape, and may provide a vent for the
galley area. Switches for the fan and light are
located either on the range hood or the front of the
microwave. The hood has grease filter screen(s)
which require periodic cleaning. To clean, remove
the screens and wash in soapy water. Rinse with
water and let the screens drain dry.
If needed, replace the light bulb with an equiva-
lent type found on the bulb or listed in the appli-
ance owner's manual.
AIR CONDITIONER(S)
The roof-mounted air conditioner(s) can operate
only when the motor home is connected to 120-
volt AC power from either a public utility or
the generator. Be sure the air conditioner circuit
breaker is ON.
Each return air duct is equipped with a filter.
Check these filters at regular intervals for accu-
