APPLIANCES
The appliances installed in your motor home are
either UL or AGA listed and comply with rigid stan-
dards established by these organizations. All appli-
ances installed by the manufacturer in your motor
home are covered under Fleetwood's Ownercare
Warranty program. Each appliance is also warranted
by its manufacturer, and a warranty registration card
for each appliance is included in your Owner's Infor-
mation Kit. Fill out the designated portions of the
cards and mail them to the respective appliance
manufacturers. Please consult the manufacturer's in-
structions for additional detailed information.
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. For de-
tailed operating instructions, refer to the manufac-
turer's instruction manual.
Furnace
The furnace is a forced-air unit fueled by LP gas.
All furnaces are equipped with a wall thermostat for
individual temperature settings. Your unit may be
equipped with a blower type furnace that distributes
heat directly through the front cover, instead of
ducts. The operating
manual included in your
Owner's Information Kit contains detailed operating
and maintenance instructions.
WARNING: PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING APPLI-
ANCES ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR HEATING
INSIDE THE MOTOR HOME.
Range
The gas oven and burners are operated with LP
gas. The basic operation is the same as the range
in your home. For additional information, please
refer to the operating manual in your Owner's Infor-
mation Kit.
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 ventila-
tion when using the cooking appliances will prevent
the dangers of asphyxiation. WARNING: DO NOT
USE OPEN FLAMES TO WARM THE LIVING ARE.A.

GAS COMBUSTION CONSUMES THE OXYGEN IN-
SIDE THE MOTOR HOME.
Range Exhaust Hood
The exhaust hood allows vapors and cooking
odors to escape, and provides a vent for the galley
area. The hood has a grease filter screen which re-
quires periodic cleaning. To clean, remove the
screen and wash in soapy water. Rinse with water
and let the screen drain dry. Replace the cleaned
filter in the exhaust hood.
Air Conditioner
The optional roof-mounted air conditioner can op-
erate only when the motor home is connected to
115 volt AC power from either a public utility or the
generator. Be sure that the air conditioner's circuit
breaker is turned ON. For best performance, park the
motor home in the shade and close curtains. Close
doors and windows and turn the temperature con-
trol knob for desired coolness. Refer to the air con-
ditioner manufacturer's instructions for detailed op-
eration and preventive maintenance requirements.
Remember that this appliance requires a large por-
tion of your available electric power.
Refrigerators
The refrigerator may be operated from either LP
gas or 12 voltJ115 volt electric power. Connsult the
operating instructions furnished in your Owner's In-
formation
Kit.
Before operating the refrigerator
when the motor home is parked, make sure it is
level. If it is not level, the refrigerant will not circu-
late, cooling action will stop, and the refrigeration
system may be damaged.
Smoke Detector
A battery-powered smoke detector complying with
ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 501 C-1982 is mounted on the
wall in the living/cooking area of your motor home.
Please read the smoke detector Owner's Manual for
details on testing and caring for this important
safety device.
Test the smoke detector after the motor home has
been in storage, before each trip, and at least once
a week during use. Depress and hold the test button
on the cover for up to 20 seconds. The horn should
sound a loud alarm. This indicates that the detector
is functioning properly. If the horn does not sound,
check that the battery is inserted properly and is
fresh. If the battery is dead, replace it promptly and
retest the detector.
