area (i.e., spider webs, bird nests, etc). Use a
soft cloth to dust off the debris.
For optimum efficiency and performance, it is
recommended the refrigerator be checked at
least twice a year as part of the routine
maintenance.

Unlike large homes, the oxygen supply inside
a RV is limited. The following warning labels
are located in the kitchen area to remind you
to provide an adequate amount of fresh air for
combustion. To avoid danger of asphyxiation,
provide proper ventilation when using the gas
range top or gas oven. Do not remove the
following labels from your RV:

To prevent damage, always use the OEM
recommended size flat bottom pan(s).
Generally, the pan should be large enough to
cover the burner, but not be more than one
inch larger than the burner grate.
Do not use a broiler pan, griddle or any other
large utensil that covers more than one
Do not use portable fuel burning
equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal grills or
stoves) inside the RV.
Do not turn the gas range burner controls
ON and allow propane to escape before
lighting.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable material come
in contact with the top burners (or heating
elements), burner grates or other areas
near the top burners or oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. These
areas can get hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave cooking food unattended.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over the
tops of the other range burners. Ensure
that pans used are large enough to contain
the food and avoid boil-overs. Heavy
splattering or spills left on the cook top can
ignite and cause burns.
If using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed utensils (or
cookware) verify it is safe for use on the
top burners. Only certain types of utensils
(or cookware) are suitable for surface or
top burner use.
