WATER HEATER
NEVER IGNITE THE HOT WATER HEATER WITHOUT
FIRST FILLING IT WITH WATER! FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THIS PROCEDURE MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR
WATER HEATER.
The water heater is accessed by a panel on the outside
of the vehicle (FIG. 18). Turn on the hot water faucet at the
galley sink to see if the tank is full. Operating instructions can
be found in the water heater owner’s manual.
NOTE: ONLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS SHOULD
PERFORM SERVICE ON THE WATER HEATER. IF NOT
SERVICED PROPERLY A FIRE COULD OCCUR.

RANGE
Also operated with LP gas are the range burners and the oven. The basic operation is the same as the units in your
home except that extra care must be taken to provide adequate ventilation in your RV. Unlike your home, the RV has
limited air space, thus, a limited amount of oxygen available for combustion.
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAMES, SUCH AS THE RANGE BURNERS, TO WARM THE LIVING
AREA OF THE RV. THE FLAMES CONSUME THE OXYGEN IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD RESULT IN
ASPHYXIATION.
Always provide adequate ventilation when using the range and oven. It is always best to use the range exhaust
hood and open a window slightly.
Your owner’s packet contains owner’s manuals for the oven and range. Read these over carefully to become
familiar with the safe operation of these appliances.
MICROWAVE
The optional microwave is no different than that found in your home. It relies on 110-volt power for operation and
should never be used while driving down the road. Read over the microwave oven’s owner’s manual to find all the
information on its operation and cleaning.
REFRIGERATOR
Unlike your home refrigerator, the unit on your RV can be operated on LP gas and 120-volt AC electricity. Read over
the owner’s manual provided in your owner’s packet before putting the refrigerator into operation.
The refrigerator will not operate correctly if the vehicle is not level while parked. The refrigerator coolant will not
circulate properly if the unit is not level.
For best results, make sure the outside sidewall vent and roof vent are always clear of debris. Without proper
circulation of the rear coils the unit will not keep food cold.
Upon initial operation, or after being stored, the refrigerator it could take up to 24 hours before the unit is cool enough
for use.
When being used on the 110 AC setting, the refrigerator circuit board still requires 12 volt operation. Make sure your
batteries have sufficient charge prior to operation.
