Appliances
The furnace will not operate properly
if
your
stored personal items block the free flow
of
air at
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 first time the furnace is used. This is
normal; however, when you light the furnace the
first 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.
A.
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
10-2
when you are sleeping or
if
your alertness is
impaired in any way.
A.
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.
