CAUTION
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAMES, SUCH AS THE OVEN
OR RANGE TOP, TO WARM THE LIVING AREA
BECAUSE GAS COMBUSTION
CONSUMES THE
OXYGEN INSIDE THE HOME.
Some models of range tops have pilot lights (optional).
The oven has a pilot light. Refer to information on the
appliance or from the manufacturer for instructions on
use. When using the oven pilot, note that the type of
heat-actuated ignition control used for the main oven
burner may result in a normal delay of a few seconds,
after the oven control knob is turned ON, before the
main oven burner ignites. If you are sure the pilot is bur-
ning, anticipate approximately five (5) seconds delay
for the burner to ignite. If it doesn't ignite within five
(5) seconds turn the control knob OF F and check the
pilot light or the supply.
Radiant Heater
Your motor home may be provided with an LP gas fuel-
ed radiant heater (refer to Figure 12). Operating cont-
trois are located on the heater panel. Refer to the infor-
mation on the unit, or provided by the manufacturer,
for I
and operating instructions.
from the on-board fresh water tank, the pump must be
ON. If water flows continuously, the heater is full of
water. If water does not flow (and pressurized water is
available), leave the faucet open until the tank fills. For
lighting and operating instructions, refer to the manu-
facturer's instruction manual or see the instructions un-
der the heater access panel (see Figure 13).
LP Gas/Electric Refrigerator
Your refrigerator has separate controls for LP gas fuel
or electric power. The refrigerator will operate on 115
volts in addition to LP gas. Consult the operating in-
structions furnished by the manufacturer in the manual
and posted inside the refrigerator door. Before operating
the refrigerator, be sure the vehicle is level. If it is not
level, circulation of the refrigerant may be blocked by
liquid accumulated in the condenser coils and cooling
action could stop. Check the level at the refrigerator by
placing a bubble-type leveling device (available from
your dealer) on the freezer shelf. Adjust the level by
jacking and blocking under the wheels.
NOTE:
Unlike most household refrigerators, the re-
frigerator will be completely silent when op-
erating on electric power.

Forced Air Furnace
Your motor home may be equipped with an LP gas
ducted circulation system. (Refer to Figure 12). Con-
trols will be on or near the furnace and will include a
wall-mounted thermostat. The furnace will keep room
temperatures at a comfortable level by activating fan
and gas controls as temperatures inside the motor home
vary between preset levels. Refer to information on
lighting, operation, adjustment and service on the furn-
ace case (under the inside access door).
Water Heater
Your motor home is equipped with an LP gas water
heater. The heater is a sotrage-type much like that in
your home. There is a thermostatic control on the heat-
er to maintain the water temperature within a preset
range. Before lighting the water heater, make sure that it
is fi lied with water by turning on a hot water faucet
such as the one at the galley sink. If water is su pplied
