Appliances
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 frrst time the furnace is used. This is
normal; however, when you light the furnace the
frrst 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 RY. 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.
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 sup-
ply of fresh air for combustion. Proper ventila-
tion when using the cooking appliances will pre-
vent the dangers of asphyxiation. Refer to
Lighting LP Gas Appliances section in the LP
Gas System chapter of this manual.
When you use the range oven for cooking or
baking, always' open a vent or window to provide
ventilation. Never operate the range or oven
when you are sleeping or if your alertness is
impaired in any way.

WARNING
Do not use open flames to warm the living area. Gas
combustion consumes the oxygen inside the motor
home.
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)
(If Equipped)
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-
mulations of dust that could restrict air flow.
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 require-
ments. Remember that air conditioners use a
large portion of your available electric power.
See the Electrical System chapter for operating
details on the Fleetwood Climate Control System.
Experience has shown that some RV parks may
experience reduced power (low voltage) on days
with high heat or humidity, commonly referred
to as a "brown out." This condition may result in
