however, it must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns,
consult with your dealer and/or the specific manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your RV, use only one at a time. Otherwise, the
propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been
totally exhausted.
Using one cylinder until it is empty, then using the second cylinder will allow you to
fill the empty cylinder at your convenience without running totally out of propane.
COOKING WITH PROPANE
Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the
recreation vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help
you avoid the danger of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking
appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of asphyxiation is
greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time. FAILURE TO
COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The following warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind the user to
provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.

It is important to remember that (if applicable) your furnace, refrigerator, water
heater and range all may use propane to operate. Each has a different BTU rating,
and you will need to consider them to determine how long your propane supply will
last.
Most RV gas appliances are operated intermittently.
WARNING
Do not turn gas range burner controls ON and allow propane gas to escape
