COULD OCCUR.
COOking appLianCes need fresh air fOr safe OperaTiOn:
1. Open an overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan, AND . . .
2. Open a window
A warning label has been placed in the cooking area to remind you to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for
combustion. Unlike residential homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited, due to the size of the camper. It is
especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating as THE DANGER OF FIRE, CAR
BON MONOXIDE POISONING OR ASPHYXIATION, IS GREATER, WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS USED FOR
LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
Do not STORE LP GAS CONTAINERS, GASOLINE, OR OTHER FLAMMA
BLE LIQUIDS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD
RESULT.
Lp COnTainers
A WARNING LABEL HAS BEEN LOCATED NEAR THE LP GAS CON
TAINER. THIS LABEL READS: “DO NOT FILL CONTAINERS
TO MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CAPACITY.”
OVERFILLING THE LP GAS CONTAINER CAN RESULT IN UNCON
TROLLED GAS FLOW WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
A properly lled container will contain approximately 80 percent of its volume as liquid LP gas. An 80 percent au-
tomatic shut-o valve has been installed on the LP gas tank which will automatically prevent further lling when
the gas volume has reached 80 percent of tank capacity.
THE FOLLOWING LABEL HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE VEHICLE NEAR THE RANGE AREA:

• Extinguish any open ames, pilot lights and all smoking materials.
• Do not touch any electrical switches.
• Shut o the gas supply at the tank valve(s) or gas supply connection.
• Open doors and other ventilating openings.
• Leave the area until the odor clears.
• Have the 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. e regulator vent must face downward and the cover
kept in place to minimize vent blockage, which could result in excessive gas pressure, causing re or explosion.
PORTABLE FUEL BURNING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING WOOD OR CHAR
COAL BURNING GRILLS AND STOVES SHALL NOT BE USED INSIDE THE
VEHICLE AS THEY MAY CAUSE FIRE, EXPLOSION, CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING OR ASPHYXIATION.
