The manufacturer of this recreational vehicle is required to furnish the foHowing consumer Information as provided by
the National Fire Protection Association and the American National Standards Institute. The information and warnings
found here may also be found in otherchapters of this Owner's Manual. Please see chapters titled "LP GAS SYSTEM"
and "APPLIANCES" for other safety and operating Information.
WARNING
LP GAS CONTAINERS SHALL NOT BE PLACED OR STORED INSIDETHE VEHICLE. LP GAS CONTAINERS ARE
EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY DEVICES WHICH RELIEVE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BY DISCHARGING GAS TOTHE
ATMOSPHERE.
WARNING
IT IS NOT SAFE TO USE COOKING APPLIANCES FOR COMFORT HEATING. COOKING APPLIANCES NEED
FRESH AIR FOR SAFE OPERATION. BEFORE OPERATION:
1. OPEN OVERHEAD VENT OR TURN ON EXHAUST FAN, AND
2. OPEN WINDOW.
THIS 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 OFOXYGEN SUPPLY
IS LIMITED DUE TO THE SIZE OFTHE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, AND PROPER VENTILATION WHEN USING
THE COOKING APPLIANCE(S) WILL AVOID DANGERS OF ASPHYXIATION. IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
THAT COOKING APPLIANCES NOT BE USED FOR COMFORT HEATING AS THE DANGER OFASPHYXIATION
IS GREATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
WARNING
PORTABLE FUEL-BURNING EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING WOOD AND CHARCOALGRILLS AND STOVES, SHALL

WARNING
DO NOT BRING OR STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE BECAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT.
Awarning label has been located near the LP gas container. Thislabel reads: DO NOTFILLCONTAINER(S) TO MORE
THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY. .
Overfilling the LP gas container can result in uncontrolled gas flow which can cause fire or explosion. A properly filled
container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas.
The following label has been placed in the vehicle near the range:
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open Hames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut oflthe gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilating openings.
5. Leave the area until odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source corrected before using again.
LP gas regulators must always be installed with the diaphragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure that regulatorvent faces downward and the cover
is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.
