SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is
limited due to the size of the recreational vehicle,
and proper ventilation when using the cooking
appliance(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 appliance is
used for long periods of time. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Check propane gas system for leaks yearly, or
as necessary.
The following label is located in the vehicle
near the range area. If you smell gas within the
vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the
procedures listed.
PROPANE GAS LEAK
DETECTOR
–If Equipped
Your coach may be equipped with a Propane
Gas Leak Detector, similar to the one shown
below. The leak detector sounds an alarm if an
unsafe amount of propane gas is present inside
the coach.
DANGER
Do not use gas cooking appliances for
comfort heating. Can lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can lead to
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Gas cooking appliances need fresh air for
safe operation.
Before operating:
Open vents or windows slightly or turn on
exhaust fan prior to using cooking
appliance. Gas flames consume oxygen,
which should be replaced to ensure
proper combustion. Improper use can
result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE
1. Extinguish any open flames and all
smoking materials.
2. Shut off the propane supply at the
container valve(s) or propane supply
connection.
3. Do not touch electrical switches.
4. Open doors and other ventilating
openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the propane system checked
and leakage source corrected before
using again.
Ignition of flammable vapors could lead to
a fire or explosion and result in death or
serious injury.
