COOKING WITH PROPANE GAS
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.
