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.
Srnoke 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
RV.
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.
HYDRO-HOT HYDRONIC
HEATING SYSTEM
(If
Equipped)
Your motor home may be equipped with a
Hydro-Hot Hydronic heating system. The
Hydro-Hot Hydronic heating system is an
on-
board heating system that provides an on-demand,
continuous supply
of
domestic hot water, as well
as interior heat where and when it is needed.
Both heating features are accomplished by a
50,000
BTU
diesel-fired burner and a 1650 watt
electric heating element
(120 voltlAC). These
two heating sources maintain the temperature
of
the Hydro-Hot's 50/50 solution
of
water and
antifreeze. In addition, the Hydro-Hot has been
designed to preheat the vehicle's engine prior to
statting. This feature provides easy engine start-
up when cold weather conditions exist.
10-2
A CAUTION
The Hydro-Hot's Exhaust is HOT!
DO NOT
park in areas
(Le.
dry,
grassy fields) where
dry conditions exist underneath the
vehicle,
as
a fire
rnay
result.
DO NOT
operate the Hydro-Hot inside an enclosed
building.
Operating the Hydro-Hot
diesel burner or electric heat-
ing elernent without the 50/50 solution of water and
antifreeze will cause serious darnage to the heater.
The heater must be shut
OFF when refueling.
tfl NOTE I
For more information
on
the
Hydro-Hot System see
Owner's Information Package.
RANGE
The
Propane oven and burners are operated with
Propane. The basic operation is the same as the
range
in
your home.
This warning label has been located
in
the cook-
ing area to remind you to provide an adequate
supply
of
fresh air for combustion. Unlike
homes, the amount
of
oxygen supply is limited
due to the size
of
the recreational vehicle, and
proper ventilation when using the cooking
appli-
ances(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 appliances is
used for long periods
of
time. Refer to Lighting
Propane Appliances section
in
the Propane
System chapter
of
this manual.
Ii WARNING
