tured with urea-formalde-
hyde resin. Formaldehyde

WARNiNG
This product is manufac-
tured with a urea-formalde-
hyde resin and will release

of formal-
dehyde. Formaldehyde lev-
els in the indoor air can
cause temporary eye and

WARNiNG
Do not bring or store LP gas containers, gasoline or other
flammable liquids inside the vehicle because a fire or ex-
plosion may result.
A warning label has been located near the
LP gas con-
tainer. This label reads: DO NOT FILL CONTAINER(S) TO
MORE THAN SO-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 SO- percent of
its volume as liquid LP gas.
The
following label has been placed in the vehicle near
the range:
IFYOU SMELL GAS:
1. Extinguish any open flames, pilot lights, and all smok-
ing materials.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas sup-
ply connection.
4. Open doors and other ventilation openings.
5. Leave the area until the odor clears.
6. Have the gas system checked and leakage source cor-
rected before using again.
LP gas regulators
must always be installed with the dia-
phragm vent facing downward. Regulators that are not in
compartments have been equipped
with aprotective cover.
Make
sure that regulator vent faces downward and the
cover is kept in place to minimize vent blockage which
could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire ex-
plosion.

WARNiNG
It is notsafe to use cooking appliances
for comfort heating. Cooking appli-
ances need fresh airfor safeoperation.
Before operation:
1. Open overhead vent or turn on ex-
haust fan, and
2. Open window.
This warning label has been located in
the cooking area to remind you to pro-
vide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion.Unlikehomes,the amount
of oxygen supply is limited due to the
size
of the recreational vehicle, and
proper ventilation when using the
cooking appliance(s) will avoid dan-
gers of asphYldation.lt is especially im-
portant that cooking appliances not be
used
for comfort heating as the dan-
ger of asphyxiation is greaterwhen the
appliance is used for long periods of
time.
